Buying waterfront property in Ontario is always a sound investment when it comes to appreciated value. However, there is one thing that can slowly erode your investment and it’s not the real estate market – it’s the water itself. With rising water levels and seasonal cycles of ice and snow, many property owners have had to scramble each spring to shore up their waterline property in order to keep their investment from washing away.
That’s where companies like Mageran Construction come in. The Sault Ste. Marie-based company is a trusted name in shoreline restorations designed to abate the ongoing impact of waterfront erosion. Specializing in the installation of shoreline stabilization structures made with engineered synthetic sheet piling, Mageran Construction has become an industry leader at a time when high water concerns continue to be a real threat to property owners across the province.
“The high-water levels on the Great Lakes the past three years have really done a lot of damage,” said company owner Mark Mageran. “We see it throughout our area. It’s the rising water levels that have increased the need.”
For the past four years, Mageran Construction has been using engineered synthetic sheet piling construction almost exclusively in their projects, slowly phasing out use of the big block walls often requested by property owners. After witnessing the quality of the synthetic system installations, Mageran became one of the first companies in Ontario to embrace the newer construction technology due to the various advantages it provided over other shoreline restoration methods.
“The primary advantage is it’s non-corrosive,” he said. “It’s also aesthetically pleasing, fully customizable and it’s cost-effective.”
No two water’s edge properties are alike, so Mageran said his company offers a unique service specifically customized to individual shorelines that any property owner will enjoy for years to come.
The popularity of their shoreline installations has kept Mageran Construction extremely busy over the past four years. As a result, Mageran suggests that anyone considering a shoreline revamp should contact the company now as they are now booking into 2023.
“I’m roughly only able to take 30 to 40 orders at the very most,” he said. “That’s all our season allows, so it’s important to place your order as soon as possible.”
Given restrictions on shoreline developments across Ontario, various permits are also required before any construction can start. Mageran said he will help walk any property owners through the process or make the applications himself to ensure they arrive in time to allow construction to start.
