Birch Island Design Build Group

Birch Island Design Build Group was contracted to create the design and working drawings for the addition to our home. Birch Island coordinated and successfully applied for the necessary approvals from the Conservation Authority and Town’s Committee of Adjustment for a zoning variance along with the building permit. Birch Island was then contracted to complete the demolition of part of the existing ~1950’s house and construction of our ~1000 sq foot addition which encompassed a garage, laundry room, dining area, and second story bedroom and bathroom. The project took approximately one year to complete and it involved multiple trades, crews, vendors, etc. We are extremely delighted with the final product as the addition was beautifully built and complemented our existing home. The design and finishing details that Birch Island incorporated ensured that we achieved the final look that we wanted. Throughout the entire project, Birch Island was responsive to our questions and/or concerns and they kept us up to date on the project and any changes in plans. They were professional and courteous in their communications and interactions with us and the trades. Their enthusiasm for the project was contagious – they treated our addition as if it was their own and continually looked out for our best interests and ensured that we were at ease with the choices and decisions made. While no renovation goes 100% smoothly or without any surprises, Birch Island always made us feel at ease and continually looked for solutions when unforeseen problems surfaced. Birch Island utilized resources effectively and creatively, and directed the trades to make changes necessary for implementing the solution. Birch Island respected our budget and worked within it but they expect high quality workmanship. If work wasn’t done properly the first time, they made sure that it was corrected to their expectations, without any additional charge. They did an excellent job for a fair price that was extremely competitive compared to other contractors we had contacted. We are extremely pleased with the design, value, and quality of work of our home’s addition completed by Birch Island Design Build Group. We would not hesitate to hire Birch Island again or to recommend them to our friends and neighbours.
