Dear Armin. We would like to thank you and your staff very much for the excellent cottage work which you recently completed for us. We can unreservedly recommend A&A services for both cottage construction and marine work. We brought you our architectural plans for a complex cottage expansion, and you and your staff immediately set to work coming up with a number of great ideas for optimizing the build process to make it as efficient and cost-effective as possible. The actual construction experience was very satisfactory. Clint Lamoureux is a superb project supervisor, always organized and always available to patiently and knowledgably answer our questions. We chose A&A not only because of your excellent references and well-earned reputation but also because of our prior experience with renovations; we wanted a team flexible enough to expertly manage the design change decisions that inevitably arise from unexpected challenges, insights and opportunities during a family cottage renovation. Clint and his team were both practical, accommodating, and very detail-oriented. The result speaks for itself. We are extremely satisfied with the outcome. We also want to acknowledge Kyle Scobie’s expertise. To single out just one example, he fully and creatively resolved a problem with our dock ramp that had long eluded us. Very much appreciated.

“We have enjoyed working closely with Armin, Kyle and all the folks at A&A since we purchased our cottage in 2019. They rebuilt our shore dock and added a new dock complete with a custom arched bridge, all using heavy steel and aluminum structural shapes and pins, as well as custom welded brackets for posts, piles and structural framing. They then repurposed and reconfigured a dock that was stripped, immaculately restored, and coated with several coats of marine-grade paint, then finished the decking with high-quality Douglas Fir decking materials, using special galvanized fasteners that you cannot find in a typical hardware store. The decking around the shore was expertly coped and fit piece by piece to ensure a safe, durable, and aesthetically pleasing finish. The design and workmanship were beyond our expectations for quality and service. From design to completion and beyond, the team at A&A was always flexible, communicated well, and considered all design inputs from us while keeping our project on time and within our budget. Since then, we have engaged A&A in two other substantial projects: a boat house project that involved restoring and building a new deck and shore dock as well as the structural piles and cribbing under an existing structure, and a new custom deck around our cottage that will be complete this spring. We will continue to work with A&A on future projects as we restore and update our classic Pan Abode cottage and bunkie.”

“We have worked with A&A since 1999, starting the build of our cottage in North Bay Honey Harbour and a subsequent addition in 2014. Beside our cottage, A&A provided us with waterfront landscaping and a high-quality dock system, which we continue to enjoy today. Both build projects were professionally handled in all respects, from design through to completion. The fit and finish was excellent. Completion and costs were per our budget. We continue to enjoy our relationship with A&A. They are always available to meet any new needs we may have. We highly recommend them!”

“I highly recommend A&A services for all cottage projects, big and small. Our island cottage build went entirely seamless and stress-free, thanks to their exceptional service. The staff was always available to answer my questions and was incredibly patient with the numerous last-minute design changes I made. Their clear communication and support made the journey of building my cottage a positive and enjoyable one. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome and grateful for their professionalism and expertise. They have completed many additional projects for me and my family over the past years, and we’ve always been exceptionally happy.”

“A&A helped us develop a vision for our cottage and turn it into reality. They have the experience, team, and capabilities to handle all aspects of the job and gave us confidence that the work and timeline could be delivered to a high standard.”
Matt Murphy and Naomi Calla
“We bought our cottage in late 2021, and there were many large changes and upgrades that we wanted to do. With all the construction pressures COVID was putting on the industry, A&A came through with innovative designs and a surprisingly quick turnaround on the builds. We still have more projects ‘in concept,’ and we will be trusting A&A to see them through.”
