“The addition, though small that it is has absolutely transformed our home and our enjoyment of it.”

Several years ago our garden was redesigned and landscaped but because there was a "mudroom" off the kitchen with only a small window looking out on the garden and stairs down to a side door opening out onto the driveway, there was a real disconnect between the house and the garden. Alan Heron Homes came well recommended, first by our watching a new house that they were building just up the street which seemed to progress like clockwork. We also called a real estate agent who both knows the area and whose opinions we value and he recommended Alan Heron Homes. Initially, we had some pretty grand ideas but after getting a few quotes realized we didn't want to spend that much money at this stage of our lives. Alan came up with a brilliant idea of opening up the kitchen to a small addition (now the breakfast area) with French doors opening onto a good sized deck with steps leading down to the garden. When work began I met Steve and subcontractors Jimmy and Ron. You always hear horror stories about renovations going wrong but our experience was just the opposite. These men have not only done a great job but were also a delight to have around. All the many ways they helped us, everything from putting on laundry (for a little while there was no access to the basement laundry room), to carrying heavy grocery bags from the car to the house and even bringing jumper cables to start our car when the engine died. The building site was always left completely tidied at the end of every day. The addition, though small that it is has absolutely transformed our home and our enjoyment of it. The kitchen is now bigger and brighter and is so completely connected to the garden, we find ourselves not only enjoying breakfast there but most other meals as well. Even a great place to entertain. Thank you Alan and your whole team.... the dream is now a reality!
