THE CHALLENGES OF LAKEFRONT REBUILDS & RENOVATIONS. There are many old cabins around the shores of the Shuswap Lake that were built 50 to 70 years ago. The lots these rustic recreational homes are built on are often stunning, with gorgeous views and water access. But many of these structures are reaching the end of their serviceable life or are in desperate need of a major update. The challenge is that many of these homes were built close to the shore and would never be allowed to be re-built in their current locations due to modern regulations. Understanding what is and isn’t allowed is a minefield and that has led many homeowners down a dead end for development. Here at Copper Island Fine Homes, we can confidently say that no other contractor has rebuilt or renovated more older Shuswap lakefront homes. Over the years, our hard-won experience and knowledge moving these projects forward has led to many successful rebuilds, updates, and completely satisfied clients. If you’re considering rebuilding or updating your Shuswap lakefront home, please feel free to contact us for a consultation.
