This circa 1850 Stone Home, vacant for many years, was recently vandalized and burned. Hubbard & Co. has stablized the foundation and backfilled it to prevent collapse. Reframing has been completed on the roof, and is proceeding in the interior. Original style trim will be re-produced in our shop in Spencerville. When this project is completed, it will be difficult to tell that the home has undergone a major fire and a complete re-build.

Window renovation

This project at the MacDonnell-Williamson House, built ca. 1813, was undertaken in the fall of 2008 and spring of 2009.

• Stabilized and repointed the foundation
• Waterproofed the foundation
• Excavated the cellar
• Added an interior drainage system
• Insulated and installed in-floor radiant heat
• Installed public washrooms in the cellar area c/w a mechanical room.

In 2009 Hubbard & Co. bid on and successfully won contracts with Parks Canada to replace the Cedar Shingle roofs on a number of Parks Canada properties along the historic Rideau Canal. We worked on buildings at Upper Brewer's Mills (near Kingston), Beveridges Crown House (Port Elmsley), Kilmarnock Lock Station (near Merrickville), and several other buildings in Smiths Falls and Merrickville. In total we stripped and replaced close to 150 square of cedar shingles this past summer. We replaced the roofs using primarily Certi-guard (pressure-treated) #1 Blue label western red cedar shingles.

A series of on-going improvements at the Scotsdale site of the Ontario Heritage Trust have been undertaken from the late fall 2009 and into 2010, including reroofing, eaves trough repairs, stabilization and repair to stone walls, repair to rotted siding, porch repairs, restoration of the swan house and wishing well.
