I did work for the owners of this housing company a while back, Bob & Dianne Tweedy. He used and abused the crew, and in the end upon completion and satisfaction of the work at his private condo, he offered to pay the bill by allowing us buying products for cost in lieu of his final monetary payment. Told him it was nice but plastic didn't taste good when hungry. Chased him and his wife in court for years along with Useppa Holdings (his sheltered company). Guy is a shady old man and unprofessional to say the least. His wife Dianne Tweedy is probably still hiding under a rock somewhere as well as she hid in the closet the whole time shining her jewellery. BUYER BEWARE, STAY AWAY. We were supposed to do work at his cottage on the lake, his deck and shower and since things went sideways in the way he treated me, i declined the work and felt uncomfortable in the area. I was already in for so much with him and was afraid i would be in for more come the start of his deck. I confronted him in person at a later date and he ended up admitting to his mistakes but the reaction and answer to his face was priceless. Never back down from your fears when you know you are right or wrong, especially when you don't have to pay a guy in a suit and tie to do it for you like he tried.

Beautiful large country homes

We did an addition to our back split home to increase the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. The renovation turned out even better then we dreamed! We were concerned about the house not having a cohesive look - but as you can see from the photos, it turned our mid-century-modern beautiful! We used Alair from design right through to final construction. They especially aided us in achieving the exterior aesthetic we were hoping for - and did some beautiful vaulted ceiling work on the inside too. The project did go over time due to some trade shortages in Toronto and a permit application delay, however, it did stay on budget and were pleased with the quality of work and the end product. Compared to other construction in our neighborhood, the quality of the work in our house was definitely better, and that was with a modest budget. Greg and John were extremely knowledgeable and were able to give us good advice. We were able to trust them and they were always available for our questions and calls. We made a wise choice and would work with them again.

I went to Pat's log building school in 1981. At that time, Pat was in McDonald's Corners and the school was called "Sawdust University". I still have my diploma which states that after completing the two month course I was now authorized to use the initials A.T.W. "Apprentice Timber Wolf"!. It was a wonderful experience and one that I'll never forget. Pat is a fine man, an excellent teacher and totally devoted to his craft. A master log builder!
