Working in North Bay's Neighbourhoods
From West Ferris and the lakeside pockets along Lake Nipissing to Birchaven/Trout Lake Rd and the retail corridors near Northgate Shopping Centre, our projects account for real-world conditions—traffic patterns on Hwy 11/17, seasonal freeze/thaw, and lake-side moisture exposure—so finishes, fasteners, and joinery last.
