GARAGES & ACCESSORY BUILDINGS · CLARINGTON

Shop buildings in rural Clarington

On country lots in Clarington, the garage is often a working building: a shop for a pickup, a compact tractor, a utility trailer and a workbench. Post-frame construction with steel siding and roofing is a good fit. It gives wide, clear spans, tall door openings and a building that holds up for decades.

We line the inside, insulate where you want heat, and add windows high on the walls for daylight without giving up wall space.

Building on a rural Clarington lot

Under the Ontario Building Code, an accessory building larger than 10 square metres needs a building permit. The Municipality of Clarington issues the permit and sets the size and setback limits for the zone. A large shop has to stay clear of the well and septic bed, and the driveway may need to be widened for trucks. Lots near creeks can be regulated by CLOCA or the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority.

Power and heat for a shop

A real workshop needs more than one outlet. We plan the electrical service, lighting, heating and ventilation at the start, so the building is ready for your tools on the first day.

Concrete floors that last

A shop floor carries trucks, tractors and heavy tools. We pour a thicker slab with reinforcement on a well-compacted base, slope it gently to the doors or a drain, and seal it so oil and road salt wash off rather than soaking in.

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!
