Summertime Projects

With summer here, most home-owners have projects to be done around their house.

I'm an experienced contractor, with over eight years of experience, who can help with the following projects:

- decks

- garages
- basements (framing)
- fences
- new window and door installation

My company is eight years strong, is registered, incorporated and insured. I don't run multiple work crews, which means I personally work all of my own projects for every client.

Please review my portfolio below, and if you'd like help with one of your projects, please give me a call at 403.899.9949.

Houses

I am happy to have the opportunity to be framing houses again. With the recessed market, it has been approximately a year since most contractors have had homes to build - and there are not a lot of contractors who have homes to build even now.

I also continue to work on client home renovation projects (decks, fences, garages, home and basement renovations), and enjoy the variety that working for both home owners and home builders provides.

Variety is the spice of life. ;)

Flooring

I am completing a basement development for a client, and was pleased to install laminate as one of the final pieces in this very large basement today.

My client has done an excellent job of picking finishings and colours for this space - everything looks great and he is thrilled.

Flooring makes such a positive impact - and the choice of laminate is easy on the pocket-book, and a breeze to clean and maintain.

Exterior Finishing

(After.)

(Before.)

I've recently completed work for one of my toughest customers - my wife. ;)

We purchased a turn-of-the-century home a couple of years ago, and after doing a bunch of structural work (not to mention electric, plumbing, heating, insulation, etc), I have begun to work on our home's exterior.

New windows, new vertical siding (and underneath that, new insulation and Tyvek/home wrap), new trim, paint, a decorative bracket in the top roof peak, and of course a fence and landscaping.

The work you see on the front of the house itself (not the fence or landscaping) was started and completed this weekend.

A Busy Summer

I've had an incredibly busy summer, developing basements, working on a variety of home renovations (inside and out), and designing and building decks and fences.

I am just now wrapping up client projects for the summer, and am quickly booking up again for late summer and fall. I am lucky to receive many client referrals and project extensions, I have met many new clients this summer and am grateful to have been their partner in their construction work.
Here are some photos of a basement renovation that I am close to wrapping up this week, which included design and layout, permit application, framing, insulating/drywalling, painting, flooring, finishing, theatre-room install, and next a bathroom installation.

Fences & Decks

Here are some photos of a client job that I finished this week.

The full framing and completion of a fence and deck (and all additional work required, post holes, concrete setting, etc) - the homeowner is thrilled, and the work looks great. The fence is as straight as an arrow.

Just in time for Spring.

I lifted the railings 3 1/2 inches off the deck, making it easy for the homeowners to shovel snow off the patio in the winter. We also ensured the lattice skirting was pressure treated, and installed a small 'access door' on the side for storage.

This job was completed in five working days.

Window Installation and Exterior Finishing

Here are a couple of shots of a job that I'm working on right now, installing new windows throughout a multi-story home.

This job includes removal of old windows, cutting the walls back and reframing to effectively fit the new, larger windows, and installing all new window trim and finishing.

This renovation provides great impact and improved energy efficiency for these homeowners.
