Welcome to the Sheldon Homes blog

Sheldon Sulman has been a builder in the Niagara Region for over 40 years. Today, Sheldon continues to immerse himself in his study of the built environment, which enables him to be on the pulse of the latest building and house design concepts.

Building and Renovating Tips and Inspiration

With the launch of sheldonhomes.com new website, fresh social media (Facebook, Instagram, and Houzz), and the introduction of this blog, we aim to share Sheldon’s wealth of knowledge and building expertise and more easily connect with you in order to make your dream project a reality.

The Sheldon Homes blog will feature a selection of Sheldon’s show-stopping past projects, behind-the-scenes snippets, and some of our amazing team members who will share their top tips with you. Blog posts will be created through interviews with our clients, team members, the trades we work closely with, and Sheldon Sulman himself.

Introducing Niagara Builder Sheldon Sulman

“My father was a builder in the Niagara area and as a child, I used to play around the sites and watch them work,” Sheldon says. “As soon as I got my drivers license, I worked the Summer as a “skilled” unskilled labourer. From the beginning, I was involved in the vernacular of building.”

Sheldon describes himself as a student of the built environment. He has never stopped immersing himself in new ideas and concepts, attending trade shows, seeking out architecturally significant works wherever he travels, and soaking up the latest from books and magazines. He is also an avid photographer and has built a library of resources for himself and his clients of every design and building concept he could get his hands on.

“New ideas inspire me. I am inspired by the built environment.”

Sheldon’s years of experience have provided him with a brilliant attention-to-detail, which is evident in his work. “Because I am always learning about the built environment, after all these years I can look at something and know immediately that it’s not right or it needs something else,” says Sheldon.

He describes his job as being able to see the project through his clients’ eyes and translate it for them. This had lead to a hugely varied portfolio of unique custom builds, additions, restorations, and outbuildings – from traditional to ultramodern.

“One of my strengths is taking the infinite wealth of ideas that have been applied to the built environment and sharing them with my clients. I have very good visualization and ability to communicate that with the client – and most importantly the trades doing the work.”

Sheldon’s building experience brings into being his large network of talented trades, enabling him to achieve clients’ dream projects. “Clients choose me because they know I will build the house that they want,” says Sheldon.

“Our team have a great passion for what they do. They take their jobs personally. We take it personally.”

He is one of the few remaining builders that is onsite with the clients every step of the way. By personally seeing the process through, Sheldon is able to provide consistent quality. “If there are windows to be picked out, for example, I come to the window store and sit down and review every window,” says Sheldon. “I do that because it is part of the process.”
