Handyman & Carpentry Services for Sturgeon Falls, ON

Repairs, upgrades, and custom woodwork—planned for river-and-bay weather
—by an Indigenous-owned local shop serving West Nipissing.

Author: Darryl Lyall

Built for life on the Sturgeon River & Lake Nipissing

Sturgeon Falls sits within the Municipality of West Nipissing, with a busy waterfront at Minnehaha Bay Municipal Marina just off King St. We plan exterior work around lake breeze, UV, and event traffic so coatings cure right and hardware lasts.
Local landmarks we work around:
Minnehaha Bay Municipal Marina (300 King St) — steps from downtown and a magnet for weekend activity.

Sturgeon River House Museum & grounds — heritage buildings and trails on the west bank of the Sturgeon River.

Why Callander homeowners choose Woodcliffe

Permit-smart from day one

West Nipissing requires building permits for most construction/renovations under the Ontario Building Code; the municipality also offers an online permit application portal with reminders to include drawings/spec sheets. We’ll help you confirm what your scope needs.

Clarity in writing

In Ontario, home-renovation agreements ≥ $50 require a written contract; if you sign at home, you have a 10-day cooling-off period. Our quotes include scope, schedule, price, and a clear change-order path.

Materials that belong here

Fasteners, finishes, and joinery chosen for lakeside UV, wind, and freeze/thaw.

Indigenous-owned & operated

Respect for land and community is built into our planning, build, and cleanup.

Permits & planning: quick guide
