When disaster hits your home, how will you rebuild?
Once the embers cooled on the 2016 fire in Fort McMurray and residents returned, many faced a simple, scary question: what now?
A quick call to 250 426 8321 and New Dawn Restorations stepped in.
“That was an expansion opportunity for sure,” says founder Rick Jensen, but the Cranbrook local was eager to help.
For residents of the hard-hit Abasand and Beacon Hill neighbourhoods, New Dawn offered to build dream homes from scratch, or rebuild to the original plan.
But that’s not the only disaster relief New Dawn offers.
Family Affair
Jensen started New Dawn Developments in 1978, but now he’s proud to share responsibilities with his son Chad, who takes care of New Dawn Developments, and daughter Leanne who heads New Dawn Restorations and Renovations.
“At this point we all just work together,” says Jensen with pride.
Chad Jensen spearheaded the work in Fort McMurray, and Leanne with Restorations and Renovations has also coordinated efforts closer to home.
“There’s always issues with flooding,” explains Leanne Jensen, “There are unfortunate times when homeowners have a fire where it partially or totally destroys the home.”
New Dawn’s team will take you from the moment disaster strikes through to a restoration so seamless you’ll forget there ever was a problem. In addition to fires and floods, they’re equipped to handle:

Age in Place
Fires and floods call for restorations, but there are other reasons to renovate.
“There are times when people don’t want to change their location or residence but want to remodel or expand,” says Jensen.
As your life changes, the type of home you need changes too. You might think that means you’ll have to move, but New Dawn Restorations can help you age in place.
