Combining practical with personal best describes Peter Hirtle’s approach to home interior and exterior renovations, at Ashberry Homes in Mapleton.
From decks, to hardwood flooring and window installations, Hirtle takes each project and customizes it to the homeowner’s personality and style.
Ashberry Homes has been serving the area for the past seven years, though Hirtle’s passion for home renovations began in the 1980s as he renovated his first starter home.
The love of home refurbishing continued with a second fixer-upper in the ‘90s and the trend continued.
Hirtle enjoys designing to someone’s dream project. Recently he took on the refurbishing of treasured door features from a former homestead and reconstituted the pieces into a bar. It became his most recent favorite project.
Hirtle recognizes the need to save people money while maintaining or upgrading the value of their home. Ongoing investment into home renovations not only increases family harmony in enjoyable living spaces, but also increases resale value when it is time to put the house on the market again.
Hirtle has a mindset of finding affordable solutions that fit the project’s individual requirements; he is constantly brainstorming ideas that are cost savers for his customers.
As a small business owner Hirtle largely works alone but has developed a growing network of experienced tradesmen in the industry who mutually call on each other for larger projects as needed.
Recently, Ashberry Homes expanded outside the realm of home renovations and have done minor maintenance projects in chicken barns.
In addition, Ashberry Homes offers stump grinding services when lawn cutting season comes around.
Quality workmanship, at an affordable rate, is important to Hirtle, noting that it’s the smaller customized projects that give him the most satisfaction.
As with most contractors seasonal factors determined when and how a project begins and Hirtle notes people need to remember to put enough lead time into their deadlines.
Carpentry is also one of Hirtle’s specialties and he relishes the challenge of building creative solutions that may not be initially obvious to the homeowner.
Recently a customer wanted a kitchen table island to look rustic, yet highly durable. Hirtle translated those qualities into a wall-mounted, handcrafted, epoxy-finished table which fit the kitchen’s current décor.
Ashberry Homes offers home local content that is based out of the Moorefield and Drayton area and has a happy customer base that extends to K/W and Guelph area and beyond.
With family as his passion Hirtle brings his values to his workmanship and business practices, always with a goal of making a house home friendly.
