Bonfield builds that stand up to river life
Bonfield's daily rhythm runs beside the Kaibuskong River and the family-friendly amenities at Kaibuskong Park (playground, splash pad, covered rink, fitness area). Our exterior specs and scheduling account for splash zones, foot traffic, and shoulder-season moisture so finishes cure right and last.
Local landmarks we serve around: Kaibuskong Park and Kaibuskong Falls (easy access off Maple Rd near Hwy 531).

Permits: What Typically Needs One Here
Not every task needs a permit, but structural alterations, new construction/additions, and many plumbing/mechanical changes usually do. Bonfield's Building Permits pages explain application steps, inspections, and resources; we'll help confirm what applies to your scope and coordinate drawings/referrals when needed.
