Whether stone, timber, brick, or wood, each heritage structure requires patient care and dedication.  Some ways we approach this are as follows:

Stabilization of the Structure:
we will temporarily repair and stabilize the structure until a satisfactory conservation strategy can be effected.

General  Repairs:
In-situ repairs to structural components. Timbers deemed beyond repair or unable to carry future loads will be replaced with in-kind material, thus respecting the original structure.  We utilise either adhesives and fine joinery or a combination of both, as may be required.

Dismantle & Re-erection:
In some instances we will dismantle the structure entirely and rebuild/repair in our shop, so that it can be re-erected as a sound structure.

Authentic Reproduction:
If the structure is too decayed, or unable to be adapted to a new purpose, we may have to rebuild it entirely in the manner to match the original.  Extensive documentation of the original would be undertaken and established, including detailed photographs.  We are able to reproduce virtually anything.

Ultimately though, we must conduct searching and exhaustive reviews with the owner before undertaking any repairs.
Our goal is to ensure that your antique or new timber-frame is engineered to suit your needs, lifestyle,  and purpose.

Some comments gleaned from the online Petition to save Barriefield:

“Shoehorning-in buildings out of character is absolutely wrong…Don’t do this to the entire region.  Don’t make this your legacy. “ -  Marlene Ross, Hill Island

“Even while they bask in the glow of the UNESCO World Heritage Designation bestowed on Fort Henry and the Rideau Canal, they (Kingston City Council) perversely undermine its basic premise. “ – Art Shaw, Lyndhurst, Ontario

“Please think long-range about what we are handing on to future generations. Preserve a place which has been preserved so well so far. Don’t let it be said that it was on your watch that it was wrecked.” -  Douglas and Blu Mackintosh, Ivy Lea, Ontario

“There are many other places in Kingston to build such a development, why compromise the character of a historic site such as Barriefield? “ -  Colleen James, Canada

“As the song says…. you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone…. Guard and preserve the natural beauty of Barriefield Village!!! -  Linda Sharon, Canada
