Kelson Group has completed exterior renovations at Carriage House in Prince George, giving the building a refreshed appearance while making practical improvements for residents.

The project addressed aging building materials and introduced upgrades to improve insulation, reduce outside noise, and support the property's long-term upkeep.

The renovation was prompted by the condition of the building's original cedar siding and windows, which had begun to show their age. Replacing the wood siding also provided an opportunity to address concerns about its potential fire risk.

The work included installing new windows, soffits, deck membranes, and Hardie siding with an additional inch of exterior insulation. Existing deck railings were cleaned and reused, while custom vents for portable air conditioners were installed in every suite.

Landscaping improvements completed the project, giving Carriage House a fresh look that complements newer developments in the neighbourhood.

Beyond the exterior changes, the renovation has made a noticeable difference inside the apartments.

The new windows and added insulation help reduce street noise and improve indoor comfort, with the potential to lower heating and cooling costs year-round.

According to Cheryl Lewis, Building Manager at Carriage House, residents have shared positive feedback, particularly about their apartments being quieter and warmer. The refreshed landscaping has also been well received.

These responses reflect the practical value of the renovations for those who call Carriage House home.

The Carriage House project is part of Kelson Group's ongoing commitment to maintaining and improving its established buildings. By addressing aging features and making thoughtful updates, the company continues to invest in the quality of its properties and the experiences of its residents.
