Whether you’re updating your:

• Roofing

• Deck or patio

• Siding and wall systems

• Windows or doors

We specialize in improving your home’s energy efficiency and protection from the elements. From refreshing front entranceways to complete exterior upgrades, our team focuses on craftsmanship for our specific Vancouver Island climate to ensure your home not only looks great but performs reliably year after year.

Your home’s exterior is continually exposed to the elements, especially in a temperate rainforest where moisture is a constant factor. Maintaining your home’s building envelope helps shield it from weather-related wear for years to come.

• Weather protection

• Moisture control

• Leak and heat loss prevention

• Longer exterior lifespan and reduced repair costs

Over time, components such as roofs, windows, gutters, siding, stucco, brick, and concrete naturally age and can become less effective, increasing the risk of leaks, heat loss, and water intrusion. If not addressed, these issues can lead to mould growth, rot, and structural concerns. Staying proactive with regular maintenance and timely repairs is essential to protecting your home and avoiding costly renovations down the road.

Lifting your house can expand and benefit your home without having to leave your beloved neighborhood.

Advantages include

• Opening up additional space

• Creating suites

• Upgrading your existing foundation

• Eliminating structural concerns

It’s a sustainable way to maximize your home’s potential and protect your investment. Flintstones has proven experience in transporting homes, raising homes to create full-height basements, and digging existing crawl spaces to create beautiful legal suites, in-law suites, or simply to add more space for your family.

There are many different ways to expand your existing home, creating new possibilities while allowing you to remain in your current space.

An extension can breathe new life into a house. It is an opportunity to expand a home’s capacity and create unique spaces built specifically to accommodate the future needs of a growing family, like this 1,000-square-foot rear extension  that made space for an open plan living room and kitchen, a home office and a new ensuite bathroom.

A new suite can open up the option of in-home care, the opportunity to generate revenue with a rental income or the potential to create a legal duplex, like in this historic downtown home.  A sunroom filled with natural light can be used for relaxing or entertaining or even a home office or dining area that brings the outdoors in.

Maintaining independence in your home is strongly linked to greater health and happiness. One study showed that for a 78-year-old, maintaining an active and independent lifestyle increased life expectancy by more than 15 years. Good design and the right future-facing decisions can allow homeowners to remain in their homes safely, maintaining independence and comfort as their physical capabilities and needs change. By working with informed and experienced professionals, this can be an affordable and achievable reality.

• Greater independence

• Safer daily living

• Easier movement

• Improved comfort

One of the biggest barriers to aging in an older home is the ability to move around with ease. From the transition in and out of the home to getting around inside, mobility is a top consideration for most renovations. This can include replacing stairs with ramps — like in this multi-generational James Bay home, adding elevators or chair lifts, widening door frames, or removing walls to create more open space — as in this historic 1920s home.

On a day-to-day basis, there are hundreds of interactions that may be easily taken for granted, but that significantly influence comfort and ease in a home. When mobility changes, some of our most personal, routine actions will be challenged, like using the toilet or taking a shower. Choosing accessories and designs that are easy to use when mobility is impaired will allow homeowners to maintain control over their environment and routines for longer.
