Currently looking to expand our crew!

Looking to hire another Carpenter (1st, 2nd or 3rd year) or someone who is wanting to get into the trade.

Was another beautiful week of work and had a blast building this set of stairs for some friends. Always fun bringing concept to creation.

That's a wrap!

Countertops are in and tile backsplash is up (courtesy of Adam Perrier for the stunning tile work!)

Another happy customer and another job in the books. It was so nice doing a new kitchen install with the added bonus of getting to work with a great product. Merit Kitchens does some amazing work putting their kitchens together to make my job look easy. Thanks!

We are currently working on a few other projects right now but will have an opening for the month of April. Feel free to reach out if you've grown tired of looking at that old kitchen or bathroom since the dawn of Covid... Hahaha. I love to help bring your concepts to creation.

Wrapping up another beautiful kitchen and bathroom(s) install. Waiting on countertops to arrive but I'll update post once they arrive and are installed.

Just wrapping up a reno on our house. Happy with how it's going and can't wait to show you all the final results!
