Home Renovation in Port Arthur, Thunder Bay

Renovating in Port Arthur

Port Arthur is the northern half of Thunder Bay and sits on a slope rising from the Lake Superior harbour, around the Waterfront District and the Bay and Algoma area. Many of its older streets are lined with solid character homes, and the sloping terrain means retaining walls, stairs and drainage come up more often than on flatter parts of the city.

Projects that come up often

• Character-home kitchens and bathrooms where the goal is to modernize without losing what makes the house special. See kitchen renovation and bathroom renovation.
• Decks on sloped lots, where tall posts and stairs mean engineering and permits matter. See deck builders.
• Concrete steps, walkways and retaining work on hillside properties. See concrete work.
• Siding and exterior refreshes on older homes facing the wind off the lake. See siding installation.

Slope changes the cost and the rules of an exterior job. Ask any contractor how they plan to handle water running downhill, and how they will keep backfill and footings stable.
