When these details are well matched, new work blends with old creating a seamless integration of the features that helps your projects be all they can be. There [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whether you know it or not, most areas in Canada require a permit for new construction and structural repairs. Curiously, as builders and restorers, we’ve found that the first question that comes up in a discussion of building permits with homeowners is not the cost of, or necessity for, a permit. It is, instead, whether [...]]]></description>

This phrase intends to avoid confusion with other sorts of home additions such as raising a building to create a [...]]]></description>
