Welcome to HRC - Custom Building and Renovations

Preserving the Past. Building the Future.

At HRC, we specialize in custom building and renovation projects across the Niagara Region. Led by David Young, a licensed carpenter, builder and skilled trades instructor with 35 yrs experience, along with a small, dedicated team of skilled professionals, who are all equally passionate about working on unique projects and creating inspiring spaces for our clients.

Whether a new build or renovation, fixer-upper or garden suite, historic property or rental property repairs, custom interior and exterior finishing, or a unique project all of your own, we bring a deep respect for your particular needs, budget and vision and pair it with our knowledge of design, materials, and craftsmanship.

Process
