Incredible work by Franco and team to completely gut and restore our lakefront retreat both inside and outside. Great design, work, attention to detail made this beautiful home for our family. Franco’s team did it all from complete kitchen and bathroom renovations to adding all the beautiful and subtle touches throughout. The outside deck and stonework is amazing, really bringing the beach front experience to another level. Highest marks for professionalism, commitment, quality of craftsmanship and just all that brilliant practical advice as we transformed the existing home. Special shout out to Jessica at Pinnicle Designs who Franco brought on the team. Wonderful people to work with and trust with your most precious home. Thank you

FAQ
At Franklinbuilt, we believe a home is a legacy. Whether you are building a custom home in Niagara-on-the-Lake, planning an addition in St. Catharines, or renovating in Pelham, our team brings deep local expertise to every project. We understand the unique landscapes and municipal standards of the Niagara Peninsula, ensuring a smooth process from permit to possession.
We’ve compiled these FAQs to help you navigate your building journey with confidence.
I want to build a custom home or renovate, but I don’t know where to start. Can you help?
Building a home is a major investment, and the best place to start is with a realistic budget. Once you have a clear investment range, we recommend a discovery call to discuss your vision. We guide you through the entire journey—from initial concepts and architectural drawings to permits and the final reveal—ensuring your goals align with your budget from day one.
How do you ensure the quality of work on my project?
Quality is the cornerstone of a Franklinbuilt home. We work with a trusted network of licensed trades and skilled in-house craftsmen who treat every project as if it were their own. We conduct regular site inspections and milestone walk-throughs to ensure every detail meets our high standards before moving to the next phase.
Will my project stay on budget, or should I expect extra costs?
Transparency is key to our process. We provide detailed, itemized quotes so you know exactly what is included. While unexpected issues (like hidden structural problems in older homes) can occasionally arise, we always discuss these with you and provide a formal change order for approval before proceeding. Our goal is “no surprises.”
Who will be my main point of contact during construction?
Transparency is key to our process. We provide detailed, itemized quotes so you know exactly what is included. While unexpected issues (like hidden structural problems in older homes) can occasionally arise, we always discuss these with you and provide a formal change order for approval before proceeding. Our goal is “no surprises.”
Are you licensed and insured for work in Ontario?
Yes. Franklinbuilt is fully licensed and carries comprehensive general liability insurance and WSIB coverage. We are also registered with the Home Construction Regulatory Authority (HCRA) and are proud Tarion builders, ensuring your new home is protected by Ontario’s mandatory warranty program.
How do you handle changes once the project has started?
We understand that visions can evolve. If you decide to make a change during the build, we follow a professional “Change Order” process. We’ll provide a written estimate of the cost and timeline impact for your approval. Making decisions during the pre-construction phase is always best to avoid delays, but we are here to problem-solve along the way.
Do I need to provide my own fixtures, finishes, and materials?
While some clients prefer to source their own specialty items, most prefer that we handle the procurement. This allows us to coordinate deliveries with the construction schedule, ensure everything meets technical specifications, and—most importantly—cover those items under our professional warranty.
Who is responsible for obtaining building permits and inspections?
Franklinbuilt handles the entire regulatory process. We coordinate with architects and engineers to prepare drawings, submit all necessary paperwork to your specific Niagara municipality, and schedule all required building inspections to ensure your project remains fully compliant with Ontario Building Codes.
How long will my project take to complete?
Timelines vary based on the scope from 10 – 20 weeks for a major renovation to 10+ months for a custom new build. During our pre-construction phase, we create a meticulous schedule. Once permits are approved and material selections are finalized, we provide a firm start date and a projected completion timeline.
Can I live in my home during a major renovation or addition?
For smaller projects, we use dust barriers and floor protection to minimize disruption. However, for whole-home renovations or additions involving roof removal or utility shut-offs, we typically advise Niagara families to relocate temporarily. This ensures your safety and allows our crew to complete the work more efficiently.
