Renovation and repair work through West Canton
Much of the housing in West Canton dates to the mill years, and the steady rental work is repair rather than new construction: roof replacements, foundation and crawlspace jobs, additions and the long tail of flood repairs on the low streets. A West Canton job usually takes one standard unit for a few weeks.
Lots in West Canton are narrow and the driveways are short, so placement is a negotiation with the neighbor as much as the contractor. We set the West Canton unit at the driveway apron or the alley end where a service truck stops without blocking anyone in.
Church, school and family events in West Canton
Community life here runs through the churches and the ball fields, and that is where the West Canton event bookings come from: homecomings, fall festivals, fundraiser suppers and reunions in a backyard or a fellowship hall lot. Two or three standard units and a handwashing station cover most West Canton gatherings.
For anything with a crowd of any size, a West Canton order adds an ADA accessible unit near the door. Older members are a real part of these West Canton congregations and the walk across a sloped lawn is the thing that keeps people away from a unit set badly.
Hillsides, river bottom and the West Canton route
West Canton sits between the Pigeon River and the slopes rising toward the Newfound range, so the ground changes within a block. Low West Canton yards hold water for days after rain, and hillside lots above them are reached by short, steep drives that wash out.
Because West Canton rides a scheduled leg rather than a daily route, a couple of days of notice puts the unit on site the morning the crew starts. Long West Canton rentals then hold a fixed weekly service, with an extra stop added when summer heat and a full crew coincide.
