We build more than homes — we craft environments that last for generations. Every Alderstone project begins with connection, guided by design integrity, enduring materials, and a quiet respect for the land we build on.

Let’s talk about your next build.

 

 
rooted in craftsmanship

Design. Build. Endure.

At Alderstone Homes, we believe a home should feel like it was always meant to be there — shaped by your life, grounded in its place.

We build with care, intention, and respect for the people who will live within these walls. From concept to completion, every detail matters — because your home isn’t just another project; it’s part of your story.

 

Founded by Sonya Tavares and Dan Fordham, Alderstone blends artistic vision with precision construction. We specialize in custom homes, large-scale renovations, and full project management across Simcoe County, Muskoka, and Georgian Bay — creating spaces that feel both timeless and entirely your own.

Our work is guided by trust, honesty, and collaboration. We don’t just build for you — we build with you. Because building well isn’t just our craft — it’s our character.

Our Promise

We build every home as if it were our own — with honesty, precision, and respect for your time and trust.

Alderstone isn’t a volume builder. We take on fewer projects so we can give each one the attention it deserves — the kind that shows in every line, finish, and conversation.

From first meeting to final hand-off, you’ll always know where your project stands, what’s next, and that you’re in good hands.

Because building a home isn’t just about what we create — it’s about how we care while we do it.
