Timber-frame garages in Uxbridge
Uxbridge's wooded lots call for a garage that belongs in the forest. A timber frame does that: heavy Douglas fir posts and brackets on the outside, exposed trusses inside, stained cedar siding and a stone base that ties the building to the ground.
Inside, the timber ceiling makes even a garage feel warm. Many owners add a workbench under a wall of windows facing the trees, or a room above for an office.

Rules for garages in Uxbridge
Under the Ontario Building Code, an accessory building larger than 10 square metres needs a building permit. The Township of Uxbridge sets the height and size limits for accessory buildings. Much of the township is on the Oak Ridges Moraine, where extra planning rules may apply, and many lots are regulated by Lake Simcoe Region Conservation or the TRCA.

Protecting the trees
Foundations and trucks can damage roots well beyond the trunk. We fence off root zones, plan where materials are stored and adjust the footprint to keep the trees healthy.

Inside a timber frame
The posts and trusses are part of the finished look, so we plan lighting, wiring and insulation to run around them neatly. A warm wood ceiling with simple LED lights between the trusses makes a garage that feels finished, not like a shed.

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!
