**★★★★★ — Megan McLeod, April 2017**

> I have built before a number of times, my last build I hired SML.  They were by far the best company I have ever dealt with.  The entire staff is outstanding.  Very professional.  Job site was always spotless at the end of the day.  I had my young son on the job site often after hours and never worried as everything was put away.  The workmanship is in a class of its own.  I don't want anyone to hesitate to contact SML.....you are in good hands

SMLhas ben an excellent builder, providing accurate drawings in a timely manner and following up to ensure we as a supplier execute as planned.  Their payments have always been on time and during multiple projects we have never had a dispute that was not settled amicably for both sides.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Beautiful!** *(in Photo Questions)*

Could you please provide the name of the sliding door manufacturer?

A: All of the windows and doors for this project were manufactured by Norwood http://www.norwoodwindows.ca/

**Q: Nice tile...** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you tell me what the tile is that was used on the walls and floor here. It's beautiful.
Thank you!

A: I cannot confirm at this time, but it appears to be Bianca Carrara Marble in both a hex mosaic and brick pattern on the shower walls.  There are many manufacturers producing Bianca Carrara marble in several shapes and sizes.

**Q: Wall colour?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you please tell me the colour of the creamy yellow/almond bedroom?

A: This is Benjamin Moore Natural Linen CC-90.

**Q: Beautiful home!** *(in Photo Questions)*

Could you please provide the name of the architect/designer of this home?

A: This Cottage was designed in-house, in conjunction with our timber-framer Timmerman Timberworks

**Q: Boathouse** *(in Photo Questions)*

Love that deck and your "boathouse " What is your square footage ? Is the price the same per square foot as the dock cost ? Stunning.

A: Thank you for the kind comments.  The dock area is approximately 1,000 sq.ft. including the boat slip.  The Boatport measures 18 ft wide by 28 ft long.  The entire dock and boatport structure is bearing on a steel structure, driven into the lakebed below.  That structural steel installation can vary depending on the geology, so it's very difficult to offer a cost per sq ft.  See the attached photo from a different project as an example of the steel dock structure.

**Q: Tammy** *(in Photo Questions)*

Who made the front door and is it a wood door??

A: The Door is wood, with pine on the interior and dark Ash on the exterior, manufactured by Andersen Windows and Doors.  The pine is stained to match the pine timbers, which both look like Minwax Provincial.
