Peters Custom Homes

Building in Barclay Downs is infill work, and infill is a different discipline from building in a subdivision. The lot is surrounded by finished houses, mature willow oaks stand where a crane wants to be, the sewer lateral is original, and the neighbours are home. Everything that follows — staging, tree protection, the order of trades, how long the street is occupied — is decided by those conditions rather than by the floor plan.

The second constraint is scale. A replacement house on a quarter-acre lot has to answer to setbacks, height and lot coverage, and it also has to sit comfortably beside a one-storey ranch that will still be there afterwards. The work that ages well here reads as though it belongs on the street: roof pitch and eave height in conversation with the neighbours, real materials, and massing pushed back rather than up.

Peters Custom Homes builds and renovates on these streets and across SouthPark, Myers Park and Foxcroft — tear-down-to-turn-key custom construction, second-storey and rear additions, kitchens and primary suites, and the full mechanical, electrical and plumbing replacement that a house of this era eventually requires.
