Day 7 on the Pruden project! Wrap around deck over looking a Lucious valley! Had a visitor today 🫎 - not a bad way to spend this amazing weather spell we’ve been having ☀️🔨

Got the entrance platform beam and joists hung, along with the 25ft long walkway beam that will lead to the massive 400sqft raised deck over looking some pretty incredible valley views!

It’s an absolutely beautiful day to be outside and continuing this outside patio transformation! And teaching the new apprentice a thing or two about using a square!

Welcome to the crew Wiser! Already knows the best way to learn to get a job done is watch dad under the shade top!

There was an existing treated deck down below, and once we added the composite staircase, Bill and Kandice decided to upgrade the entire outside space to suit their needs!
Keep in the loop for the outside kitchen deck transformation pictures coming soon!

Getting beautiful cedar laid today on our Carrick project! lumber never fails to get the great lumber delivered and the hidden screw system means no visible surface screws, less prone to crack and cupping over time and less splinters too. Win win 🤙🏻

🧨 I’ve always loved fireworks and boy, have we set a few off this year already with some OUTSTANDING clients, projects to boot and a trip of a lifetime with my wife!

I’ve recently returned from my honeymoon with my 💣 bombshell of a bride and the excitement still hasn’t quite worn off!
Traveling Bali, diving with Manta Rays, and meeting some incredible people almost made me forget what we at have accomplished already in 2026!

Here is a small collection of a couple projects that have really had a big impact! From custom furniture for an amazing family, basement Reno’s on a newly retired couples dream home, and a storage mezzanine that could hold a lifetime of memories (and then some) for new clients Bonnie and Dan!

We hit the ground running and I don’t see the pace slowing up anytime soon! In fact, with spring and summer just around the corner, I’ll be hitting my stride with deck season around the corner!!

I know I shouldn’t have favourite projects, however secretly, being outside, listening to tunes and building custom decks is where I do a little happy dance 🙃

I’ll be updating more as I go (and remember I have social media) on some of these projects and I hope you guys enjoy the journey!! Thanks for following so far!

Little extra support for that big screen never hurt!

Just wrapped up the Byrne feature wall and I couldn’t be more thankful to my clients Jesse and Michelle for having me in their home for another project!

Started from the bottom (literally) and built this chevron pattern piece by piece, even including a hidden Steganographic Sentiment for their pooch! 🤫🐾

Loved this project, and loved working with Jesse and Michelle’s vision to create this! Until next time guys! 😁

When Jessica Leigh Alchin-Smith reached out with an idea of helping with a raffle, I jumped at the chance! If you've ever been eager to get your hands on the swag, or a project is on your mind for next year, here's your chance! There is so much great community support in Cochrane, Alberta, and we are so happy to be a small part of it!

Ever felt like Tom Petty at the top of a stair case?
Actually Free falling is not as fun as singing at karaoke 🎤

We’ve been doing lots of stairs lately and this project was another example of a great upgrade!

My clients Todd and Joanne reached out last week with a concern of their “builder grade” stair case. It was a tripping hazard waiting to happen in their brand new home!
I managed to get them in as soon as I could and built this landing for them.
Utilizing the extra storage space, and creating a safe sturdy landing. The removable bottom platform for full access to the under landing storage area!

“Builder grade” drive me insane. It screams “bare minimum” to me, and that’s putting it lightly.
Bare minimum is not in my vocabulary nor my work ethic.

I enjoyed this small project a lot and I am grateful my clients Todd and Joanne for trusting their safety with me.

I’ve also heard rumours that people love seeing the process..
let’s give this a try 😁
