Most Blackburn Hamlet projects start with a free, no-obligation on-site visit, where we measure the space, check existing structure, and confirm material options in person. You’ll get a written quote before anything is scheduled, and every guard height, handrail height and baluster spacing we install is measured against the Ontario Building Code section that applies to your property.
