Sunny days and hot temperatures mean Summer is here!

We are all very fortunate to live in the Niagara Region. What a wonderful place to spend your summer. People have come from all around the world to see the wonder of Niagara Falls, and the history of Niagara on the Lake. In one region, we have roadside fresh fruit and veggie stands, fantastic wineries, breweries and restaurants, festivals, beaches, a zoo, picnicking in the parks and so much more.  There is truly so much to appreciate in the Niagara Region and summer brings a variety of activities our way – something for almost everyone.

CHRISTMAS WISHES

We wish you a very Merry Christmas…it is a simple phrase that means so very much.  We truly hope that all of you have the opportunity to celebrate this wonderful time of year with the people that you hold dear.  We hope that during this holiday season you will create amazing memories filled with happiness and love.  

For so many the past several years have been challenging ones filled with significant changes and so many mixed emotions.   So, it is difficult to send our Christmas wishes filled with joy without acknowledging that for many, Christmas may be another challenge.  So, for all that have experienced difficulties, challenges, or loss this year, we wish for you a time of healing, peace, hope, and if possible, the warmth of past memories and moments of laughter to lighten your hearts.   

For us, we have a re-affirmed appreciation of the time we get to spend with family and friends.  Despite the challenges we have all faced, this year was once again filled with exciting projects and an ever-growing client family. It has been a pleasure to get to know our clients so well and therefore, it seems only natural to extend our very best wishes to all.  After all, we don’t just build houses, we build relationships and custom homes… your home!   

We sincerely thank you, our clients, for your understanding, your cooperation, your patience and your friendship. 

 

From Our Family to Yours… 

We wish you a very Merry Christmas in your new or newly renovated home.  Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to be a part of your project. 

We Wish You the Very Best of Health & Happiness!
