I know all too well that excellence isn’t something that comes easy. At the root of construction comes a craft I’ve worked over 30 years to perfect. I worked alongside my father as a child and then through an apprenticeship in my late teens. By age 21 I had succeeded in becoming a journeyman carpenter. Still, I wanted to learn more.

It was in Europe–Barcelona, Berlin, and London that I honed my skills, supervised complicated projects, and developed an appreciation for quality architecture. When I returned to Canada I realized I’d gained an incredible skill. My team and I see challenges as opportunities and road bumps as lessons. Turning a lifeless home into a dream home takes hard work and a thoughtful touch, both of which we bring to every project we get our hands on.
