Commercial & Industrial Renovations Contractor in Kawartha Lakes, ON
Henley Contracting renovates commercial and industrial buildings across the City of Kawartha Lakes, from main-street shops in Lindsay to rural shops, halls and service buildings. Many of these buildings are decades old and have been changed several times, so we look closely at structure, services and septic capacity before planning what comes next.

COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL RENOVATIONS · KAWARTHA LAKES
Renovations of older Kawartha Lakes buildings
A former general store, a rural hall or a farm-supply building can become a café, a studio or a modern shop. These buildings have character worth keeping, but they often need new insulation, wiring, plumbing and accessible entrances to suit a new use.
We help owners decide what to keep, what to replace and what the City of Kawartha Lakes will require.
-
01 / CHARACTER KEPT
Original floors, beams and siding saved where they are sound.
-
02 / SYSTEMS UPDATED
Wiring, plumbing, heating and insulation brought up to date.
-
03 / SEPTIC REVIEWED
Capacity checked when the use or staff numbers change.
-
04 / CITY PERMITS
Building permits with the City of Kawartha Lakes.
How we plan an older-building renovation
-
Walk-through
What is sound, what is tired and what is hidden.
-
Use and rules
What the new use needs under the building code.
-
Scope and price
Options to keep, repair or replace, priced side by side.
-
Build
Work sequenced so surprises are found early.
Finding problems early
Opening a few small test areas in walls, floors and ceilings before pricing can reveal rot, old wiring or missing structure. It costs a little up front and saves far larger surprises once the work is under way.
Accessible entrances
Older buildings often sit a few steps above the sidewalk. A ramp, a regraded walk or a new entrance can make the building welcoming to everyone, and is often needed when the use changes.
Heating older buildings well
Many older rural buildings were heated with a single furnace or wood stove and little insulation. Adding insulation where it is safe to do so, sealing drafts and choosing the right heating system make the building comfortable and affordable to run through the winter.
