Which season are you here for?

Summer

What Joe does from April to November.

Describe the job and he will tell you right away whether it is his kind of work and when he can come by.

Painting and staining

A well-painted house holds for years. The difference is made before the first can is opened: the wood is scraped, washed and primed before any colour goes on.

Painting and staining Pool deck Dock

The same porch and its posts stained an even deep brown, from the ground up to the railing, the lower door stained as well — The porch frame was still bare wood. Now the deep brown runs from the foot of the posts up to the railing.

Two-storey home before staining: the porch frame and its posts still in bare pale wood, ladder leaning against the wall — The porch frame was still bare wood. Now the deep brown runs from the foot of the posts up to the railing.

Renovation and construction

He repairs what can be repaired, and rebuilds from scratch what is too far gone.

Decks, porches and pool decks Dock Parging and foundations Sheds

The same pool deck stained cognac, same pool and same garage behind — Same pool, same garage behind: it is the wood that changed colour.

Above-ground pool deck in washed-out grey wood, tools lying on the boards — Same pool, same garage behind: it is the wood that changed colour.

Yard opening and closing

The plough throws gravel into the lawn all winter long. In spring it gets raked out; in fall the yard is closed up before the snow comes back.

Opening and closing Gutters

The same slope completely cleared, green grass showing again under the same window and the same green hose coiled on the wall — The same green hose is still coiled on the wall: it is the same slope, a few hours apart.

Thick blanket of orange leaves over the slope at the foot of a dark red house with a white stucco footing, the green hose coiled on the wall — The same green hose is still coiled on the wall: it is the same slope, a few hours apart.

Landscaping

It is the first thing people see when they pull in. A hedge cut straight changes the look of the whole yard.

Landscaping Stone walls and paths

The same cedar hedge trimmed straight along a mown lawn — The cedars were spilling out everywhere. Now they hold their line along the lawn.

Bushy, untrimmed cedar hedge in front of a white house, the pole hedge trimmer on the ground — The cedars were spilling out everywhere. Now they hold their line along the lawn.

Concrete, parging and stone

A crumbling stoop, a foundation showing its blocks, slabs sinking into the lawn: it is all the same trade.

See the detail

Concrete and stone Parging and foundations

The same stoop fully parged, smooth and even, orange cones and buckets alongside — The orange cones and the buckets are still out: the surface has just been smoothed.

Cracked and crumbling concrete stoop in front of a peeling white door, fieldstone wall — The orange cones and the buckets are still out: the surface has just been smoothed.

Winter

Snow removal and roofs

Everything is done with the machine, except the roofs. He does not hand-shovel porches or driveways.

Residential driveways with the tractor, Lac de l'Achigan mainly
Roofs cleared by shovel
The tractor goes out during the storm and again the next morning

The same house, the roof slope completely cleared — The same house with the turquoise shutters, just a little lighter than before.

White house with turquoise shutters under snow, the roof loaded with a thick layer, a big pine in front — The same house with the turquoise shutters, just a little lighter than before.

The same brown wood house under a blue sky, the big roof slope cleared, a blue car parked in front — The sky was grey in the first one; in the other, it is blue and the big slope is clear.

Brown wood house with two gables under a grey sky, the roof and the eaves heavily loaded with snow — The sky was grey in the first one; in the other, it is blue and the big slope is clear.

Driveway of a wood home buried under snow, before the tractor's pass — Before the pass, then the three corners of the property: the deck, the shed seen from the cab, the stairs.

The same home, the wood deck cleared and the snowbanks pushed back — Before the pass, then the three corners of the property: the deck, the shed seen from the cab, the stairs.

Curved driveway spread with grit in front of a large log house, on a snowy day — Abrasive spread zebra-style: stripes that grip under the tires, without covering the whole driveway.
