We believe in being onsite, accessible, and only a phone call away. At Whitestone, we take as much pride in being attentive and responsive to our clients’ needs as we do in the final product. We’re a small company that focuses on every little detail. Whitestone founders Tamara & Andrew are both well-respected building industry leaders who continue to research and implement better ways to build. Whitestone is also an active member of the Nova Scotia Home Builders’ Association. Staying on top of the newest technologies and construction practices is how we provide our clients with the best-of-the-best building options.

As their moulding, doors, and hardware supplier, we are never less than impressed by the beautiful work they produce with our products. The homes they build and renovate have modern and classic touches perfect for any perspective buyer. We're proud to have our products within their homes. **★★★★★ — badlights, April 2016** > Whitestone Building and Renovations completed renovations recently at our office. Lovely work, completed on time and on budget. Staff were courteous and very helpful. Based on our experience, we would certainly recommend Whitestone for your next project! **★★★★★ — christinalunn, April 2016** > I love the attention to detail shown by Whitestone. Top quality products and they are always really professional to deal with. Love the look and feeling their homes, lovely style! **★★★★★ — sbachur, March 2016** > It was a pleasure having Tamara and Andrew Watson of Whitestone Building and Renovations in charge of repairing all the damage from our recent Insurance Claim at our house. They were very professional in their delivery to share that our insurance adjuster did not quote adequately for the necessary repairs required to bring the house back to its original state. We hence had a second visit from our insurer who accepted the professional detailed quote provided by Whitestone Building and Renovations. They completed the work so very efficiently, that we commissioned them to rebuild our entire new deck outside. It would be my pleasure to refer Whitestone to anyone that requires a home to be built, a renovation or any related work. **★★★★★ — Jamie Berryman, March 2016** > We worked closely with Tamara and Andrew to build our home.
