COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION · FENELON FALLS

Village commercial buildings in Fenelon Falls

Fenelon Falls' downtown is compact and busy in summer, with visitors walking between the lock, the shops and the waterfront. A new commercial building here needs to fit that walking scale: storefronts at the sidewalk, wood and board-and-batten that suit the village, and upper floors for offices or apartments.

Sites near the river may need extra review for work close to the waterway, which we check before design.

Built for winter, ready for summer

A village building has to look its best in July and stand up to January. Good drainage, durable siding, a well-insulated envelope and a covered entry keep the building in good shape between busy seasons.

Small sites, careful planning

Many Fenelon Falls lots are narrow and close to neighbours, with little room for equipment or materials. We plan the order of deliveries, where cranes or lifts can stand and how the site will be secured, so the build fits the lot and the village around it.

Upper-floor apartments

Apartments above shops can add income and help keep the village lively after closing time. They need separate entrances, fire separations, sound control and their own services. Planning them from the start costs far less than converting the space later.

After receiving a few quotes from different contractors to do a full renovation of our kitchen and dining room, we chose Henley because of how comfortable Nick and his team made us feel right from the first conversation.

From start to finish it took just over three weeks for the team to demolish our ugly, dated, and dark kitchen, and fully rebuild a stunning bright and light new space, designed with style and functionality in mind.

The Henley team was very responsive (shout out to Tom and Michelle), and kept us fully informed throughout the project with the Buildertrend app. They uploaded photos and notes to the app daily, so we always knew where the project was at and how things were progressing. We loved the transparency of this, especially not being at home through the reno.

Thank you Henley Contracting for completely transforming our space.
We are so happy with the final results!
