Everts Lind Enterprises: award winning Nova Scotia builders

Richard Lind's first online Feature-of-the-Month: May '08
Former farm house gets the royal treatment!

In just under a year, Everts Lind Enterprises performed a complete transformation of this 1920s, formerly "Four Square" farm house.

"We removed the back porch, rebuilt the third-story widow's walk and the entire back half of the house," recalls Richard Lind. "We added two wings, a bay window tower, a two storey verandah, and two porches. We installed 47 windows and doors all in new locations, installed new roofing and siding, provided all new wiring, plumbing, heating, drywall and trims. The interior doors, trims and hardware were designed to be historically correct."

"We hauled out the wall-to-wall carpeting and refinished the floors - maple and oak featuring a perimeter pattern. One wing houses the sunroom - living and dining areas with fireplace and stonework mantel," he says. The kitchen was built by Charles Lantz Cabinetry.

The downstairs master suite was once the living room and parlor. The second new wing houses the ensuite bathroom and dressing room. The upstairs four bedrooms are now three bedrooms and a sewing room.

Richard is quick to share the credit for this remarkable project: "Jamie Meisner was our foreman - the crew had about six carpenters," he says, before noting the other contractors involved:

• Original design and kitchen concept: John Hattie at Atlantic Home Designs Limited;
• Kitchen, bath cabinetry and bath furniture: Charles Lantz Cabinetry;
• Supply and install plumbing fixtures and hydronic heating; Len's Plumbing;
• Propane fireplaces, kitchen cooktop and heating system boilers: Scotia Propane;
• Tile floors, kitchen and bath wall tile, and granite countertops:Floors Plus;
• Glass & mirrors: Bridgewater Glass.

Here are a few "Before Photos" to give you an idea of the size of the project!
