The approach

Every part of your renovation, brought together by one craftsman who sees it through.

Projects, not pieceworkThe multi-part renovations that need one person keeping every trade to a high standard.
Priced your wayTransparent cost-plus when it fits, or a fixed price when that’s what you’d prefer.
Homeowner-directClean sites, clear communication, and finish-grade work behind the walls as much as in front.
The craft

What we build into a home.

01

Additions & Basements

Foundation, framing, and finishing tied into your existing home.
02

Interior Finishing

Trim, doors, casing — the work that makes a room read as intentional.
03

Flooring

Hardwood, engineered, and tile — laid level, tight, and lasting.
04

Trim & Millwork

Paint-grade and pre-finished, fit on site to the room it lives in.
05

Custom Built-ins

Shelving, cabinetry, and storage made to the space.
06

Decks & Exterior

Composite and modern materials, built to last Island winters.
Big or small

No job too small — from a half-day repair to a full renovation.

The full renovationStart to finish, weeks or months — the substantial work the rest of this page is built on.
The smaller projectA baseboard run, a drywall patch, a fix-it list — repairs and small jobs handled by your general contractor, up to a few weeks of work.
Worth a callThere’s a small minimum for short call-out visits — we’ll confirm the details when we book. If it’s on your list, it’s worth a call.
Restore · Renew · Build

The greenest home is the one you don’t tear down.

Across Greater Victoria there are character homes worth keeping — and too many end up in a landfill so something bigger can take their place. Whenever it’s possible, we’d rather restore and renew what’s already there: better for your home’s character, and better for the island we all share. And when new or custom work is the right call, we do that too — built to last, and built responsibly.

The hand behind it

Fourteen years finishing Island homes.

I’m Jonathan — a Red Seal carpenter who has spent fourteen years renovating and finishing homes across Greater Victoria. I work directly with homeowners, bring the right trades together, and hold every job to the standard I’d want in my own home.

Every project comes with an eye for how a space should feel — and when a plan needs shaping, I have access to trusted design services to get it right before the first cut.

Before you ask

FAQ.

Yes — Red Seal certified, insured and bonded. Documentation available on request.

Yes. For multi-part renovations we bring in electricians, plumbers, and other trades we trust, and hold everyone to a high standard.

Your choice: transparent cost-plus where you see every invoice, or a fixed price when you’d rather have certainty. We pick together at the quote stage.

Yes — alongside full renovations we take on smaller projects and repairs too, from a half-day fix to a few weeks of work. There’s a small minimum for short call-out visits, which we’ll confirm when we book. For anything that needs a certified electrician or plumber, we’ll bring in the right trade.

Where a permit applies, the work proceeds under it with proper inspections. That protects your home’s value and your insurance.

Booking is seasonal — share your rough timeline in the form and we’ll tell you honestly whether it fits.
