How old are the homes? Have they been renovated or upgraded over the years?
The homes were built in the 1940s and 50s and maintained by the Department of Defense until Retirement Miramichi turned the housing into a retirement community. The military had stringent maintenance programs and, in addition to regular maintenance, they made several improvements to the houses over the years — the windows were upgraded, vinyl siding was applied, the basements were insulated, the electrical was upgraded, kitchen cabinets in some units were modernized with oak laminate cupboards to name a few. Retirement Miramichi continues to maintain the homes and budgets annually for capital improvements such as roof replacement, concrete step replacement, window replacement and more.
