Some people build skyscrapers. I address that damp spot on your kitchen ceiling.

I wanted to soften the front of my garage, make it match the house era more, and add some light. So I custom made a carriage style three door system. A few more batten and I’m done.

This front porch in a Heritage Neighbourhood needed a loving touch to bring it back from the edge. I reused what wood I could and milled what I had to, to keep it looking heritage. Once client paints it no one will know.

I don’t know who nominated me or voted for me, but I am humbled as much as I am surprised. I didn’t even know there was a readers choice awards. My clients have been the best part of my new adventure. Thank you.

Recently a client wanted me to custom fit three 150 year old interior doors into her heritage home. She got the doors from a recent renovation of the old Peterborough Mount built in the 1860’s

Not only did she want the old doors installed in her century home but, she also wanted me to create double doors out of each one.

I’m super happy at how it all turned out.

A two Piece, first floor powder room update in a century home circa 1907.
I went with tall baseboards to replicate the era of the home and the existing baseboards throughout the home. A cork floor was laid for that warm soft feeling on the feet. I also used reclaimed oak wood from the Mount in Peterborough to custom make the two transitions.

Once in awhile I get a job that is super rewarding for me. This is a tribute wall for a father musician passed. Some of her dad’s favourite instruments and some of his rock and roll memorabilia. A beautiful memorial. It was a pleasure working with this client and creating her vision.
