Interior Finish
Fine carpentry is our passion especially in winter. We have custom designed many fireplace mantles, crown moulding, shelving to showcase your room and mudroom lockers that help organize your entrance. We sub contract new houses and have often done the finishing work behind our own framing work. We have installed all types of trim and doors and update many older homes with modern finishes as well. Sometimes we upgrade modern homes with a more classic look too!
FRAMING
We have successfully and proudly framed many houses of all kinds over the years. We have framed large custom homes, duplexes, ready to move homes, garages, shops and wood framed basements. We have an excellent reputation with our builders for quality and prompt service. We have proper license for telehandlers, fall arrest, PPE and first aid.
INSULATION AND DRYWALL
Your home will be nice and warm with properly installed batts of insulation and properly sealed vapour barriers. Drywall is installed with properly located and minimal joints. Screws are located correctly and properly set.

Over the years we have been called upon to do many small and unique projects like reclaimed wood barn doors, custom shelving for difficult spaces, shower doors and storm door installs.
