Dry pack contractor in Belleville

Dry pack in Belleville

The streets around downtown Belleville and along the Moira have brick houses from the 1800s and early 1900s. Their floors are rarely flat, and the bathrooms were often fitted into them long after they were built, so a renovation usually starts with a tear-out and a solid new base: metal lath with a scratch coat, or a mortar bed over it.

The post-war neighbourhoods and the newer subdivisions on the east and north sides are at their first or second bathroom renovation, and many basements are being finished. Along the Bay of Quinte, and across the bridge in Prince Edward County, waterfront homes and cottages have terraces and decks where the bed has to shed water away from the house before winter.

Belleville jobs are scheduled with others in eastern Ontario, so send photos and the postal code first. The work that comes up most here is bathroom renovations, terraces and scratch coat in older houses.

Many older houses near the river have stone or rubble foundations and basements that were never meant as living space. When one is finished, the screed brings the old slab flat for tile or plank, and a basement bathroom is built to the drain your plumber sets.
