Services

What we build, and roughly what it costs.

Every project gets a written fixed-price quote after we’ve measured. The numbers below are honest starting ranges so you know whether to call.

Kitchen cabinetry

Full custom kitchens designed, built in our shop and installed. Solid hardwood face frames, plywood boxes, soft-close hardware throughout. Includes design drawings and one revision. Countertops by a stone supplier we’ll coordinate with.

from $18,000

Cabinet refacing

New doors, drawer fronts and hardware on your existing boxes. About a third of the cost of a full kitchen and a week rather than a month. Only worth doing if the existing boxes are sound — we’ll tell you honestly.

from $6,500

Built-ins & shelving

Bookcases, window seats, mudroom lockers, media walls, home office units. Scribed to the wall and finished on site so there’s no gap and no filler.

from $3,200

Staircases

New stair builds, open-riser conversions, and full railing replacements in wood or wood-and-steel. Engineered and built to current Alberta building code, permits coordinated.

from $9,000

Doors, trim & millwork

Interior doors, casings, baseboards, crown, wainscoting and panelling. We mill custom profiles to match original trim in older houses — bring us a six-inch offcut and we’ll match it.

from $2,400

Repairs & small jobs

Sticking doors, sagging shelves, a damaged stair tread, one cabinet that never closed right. We keep two days a month for small work, because everybody needs it and nobody will come out for it.

$95/hr, 2hr min

Straight answers

What we don’t do

We’d rather send you to the right person than take a job we’d do badly. Ask and we’ll usually have a name for you.

Framing and structural work. We’re finish carpenters. If a wall is moving, you need a framer and probably an engineer.
Decks and fences. Outdoor work is a different trade with different materials. Plenty of good people do it.
Flooring. We’ll coordinate around your floor installer, but we don’t lay hardwood or tile.
Full renovations. No plumbing, no electrical, no general contracting. We work happily alongside your GC.
Flat-pack assembly. If it came in a box from a big-box store, we’re not the right value for your money.

How a project runs

From your first call to the last coat.

1. We come and measure

Free, and usually within a week of your call. We look at the space, talk about wood species and finishes, and take photos and measurements.

2. Drawings and a fixed quote

You get elevation drawings and a written fixed price, typically within a week. One round of revisions is included. The price does not move afterwards.

3. Shop build, then install

Most of the work happens at our shop, so your house isn’t a construction site for a month. Install is usually two to five days, and we clean up.

Lead time is generally six to ten weeks from deposit for cabinetry, two to four weeks for built-ins and trim. We’ll give you a real date, not a range that keeps moving.
