A rather large renovation, completed one small project at a time (descriptions in the photos). When I arrived for the first walk through, there was quite a bit to do. The home is a 50+ classic trailer home (the original hitch is even still attached) and pretty much everything was original. While it stayed in pretty good condition, it was time for some upgrades. This entire renovation was completed one small project at a time. Progress remained steady even while I kept busy with other projects for other customers in between tasks. I would drywall the bedroom ceiling here, then go install a door for another customer. I would reframe the bathroom here, then reframe a failing deck elsewhere. I would construct a deck here then repaint another customer's bathroom. Eventually, a LOT was done and the house now looks completely different.

While I am always very happy to offer large scale renovations, it doesn't always have to be such a daunting experience. It can often be easier for the customer (and their bank account) to break it down into significantly smaller projects and complete it over weeks or months. That's exactly why I love offering smaller scale red-seal quality carpentry and home renovations/repairs. There are some excellent construction companies in the area, but many of them aren't interested in smaller scale projects. That's exactly where I come in. I offer virtually every aspect of home construction from small, same day projects to larger scale renovations. Estimates are always free and I make sure they are very detailed, breaking down the precise cost of materials to the cent and the labor to the hour.

Whether you are looking for a small repair, a moderate carpentry project or a larger scale renovation, reach out either through my page, to myself personally, or give me a call or text at (506) 292-4735 and I will be happy to arrange a stop in to have a look, discuss your project and provide a free, detailed estimate!

This custom built entryway bench and cubby combination was one of my very first projects as a self employed carpenter. In fact, I was still employed with a construction company when I accepted the job and it was the final push I needed to commit to the daunting world of self employment. And it turned out great! I believe the customer has since sold their house, but I like to think I helped add some market value to an already nice home.

Throughout my 11+ years as a residential carpenter, I've spent a lot of time in the bathroom.

My first job as an apprentice carpenter was with a custom renovation / homebuilding company in Calgary, Alberta. While we did virtually all areas of residential construction, we seemed to particularly specialize in bathroom renovations, doing everything between investigating potential water damage, refurbishing the room with a simple but effective spackle and paint job, replacing a window or two, or full on gutting the entire bathroom and starting fresh.

This is an en suite bathroom I finished up just before the holidays and we were all very happy with the fresh and cozy results. It looks like an entirely new bathroom! Even though we kept a fair amount of things from before, it is almost unrecognizable. I replaced the vanity, a few accessories, installed new vinyl flooring and gave the entire room the full spackle, caulk and paint treatment.

Renovating your bathroom is a great way to make a small upgrade to your home that will have a big impact - and like I've mentioned, I've spent a lot of time in the bathroom over the years. If you are considering upgrading your bathroom, whether it's a simple paint job or something more extensive, reach out and I will be happy to answer any questions / schedule an appointment with you to come have a look, discuss your goals and provide you with a free and detailed cost estimate.

Hey everyone! It's been a long time since I've shared some of my work projects so I decided to make a post as sort of a highlights reel. I offer such a wide array of services that it's sometimes hard to describe exactly which services I offer. Here are a few of my favorite projects that I've done over the years that will hopefully explain that I basically offer everything under (and above) your roof - whether a tree has fallen on top of it or if water has snuck its way in beneath your basement floor.

When a customer reaches out, usually the first step is to schedule a stop in so I can get a much closer look while we discuss your project needs (though occasionally I can offer you an accurate estimate simply with photos and an explanation). Next comes a detailed estimate breaking down all of the expected costs to have your project completed. If everything looks good in the estimate, we schedule the project!

Sometimes a job can be intrusive, not to mention loud and messy. It's the nature of construction. I always work with the customer to make sure the work is as contained as possible in order to minimize the nuisance. Sometimes however the job is as simple as hanging a new flat screen TV or even Christmas lights. With over 10 years of experience in residential renovations and construction, reach out if I can help you with your carpentry and handyman needs!

Flood damage is a giant pain, especially when it comes up out of your floor! Luckily once the initial plumbing issue has been fixed, the room can be easily put back together and looking better than ever. Vinyl flooring is becoming more and more popular due to its water proof nature and easy assembly, often being able to simply rest on your existing floor. Flood damage or not, if you are in need of a flooring install, reach out and I will be happy to provide a free estimate!

Here is a project I completed a few months back. A custom built in banquette bench with front opening panels for storage. I love doing custom projects like this. They are always different, each one with its own challenges and puzzles to solve!

This was a fun little project I finished recently. This home is generally filled with a lot of small children under supervision and instead of installing a baby gate, the customer asked that I install a short, lockable door instead. I am told it is working excellently!

It has now been a full 10 years since my first day as an apprentice carpenter and it seems like the perfect time to begin the process of rebranding! I wanted to share a more intensive project I've recently completed. The customers were feeling that the golden oak look of the 90's needed to be changed. As well, they wished for more drawer space so some minor cabinet surgery was required. The end result was great! The customers were quite happy and I thoroughly enjoyed the process.
10 years has given me a lot of experience and insight into residential construction and I can confidently take on most projects requested of me. I will be sharing a lot more of my work on this page going forward. Please, reach out if you ever need help with home project and I will be happy to provide you a free estimate!

I was very happy with how this 6'x3' harvest table turned out for a recent customer. Built from standard brown pressure treated lumber, this design has no exposed screw heads resulting in a smoother look as well as less holes for water to pe*****te. Reach out if you would like one built! Dimensions and material are always negotiable.
