ABOUT US
Born and raised amidst cattle and grain farming, Christy and I both have a strong work ethic. My dad and I also restored classic cars as a hobby. So we bring a very broad skill-set formed across over three decades of hands-on experience. We are casual and fun, yet when it's time to work we are all in.
People tell us they love our detailed invoices and how we keep them in the decision making process. But it's your money and your project, so we aim for simple and clear communication to help ensure people get what they want for their investment.
OUR STORY
When Christy and I met, she was working with children as a special needs educator on Vancouver Island, and I was building and renovating houses. About that time, Christy's car was struck by someone on their phone. Her injuries forced her to find a new career, so we spent the last 8 years developing 'Vineworks' - found at istorehouse.pro. The more money we make doing construction work, the more we have available to fund Vineworks. So, hiring us, helps fund Vineworks. Which we think is a great way to give back to society...
Looking back, in 1985 I began working with a very 'strict' Interprovincial Journeyman Carpenter. I worked with him for over 7 years and we remain close friends to this day. Then I spent 2 years in a cabinet shop, before starting my self-employment journey in residential and commercial painting. A lot of my painting customers were farmers and people from the city who had a place on the lakes around Fort QuAppelle, Sk. It was frustrating and costly to coordinate other trades to come out from the city, and my customers would ask "Can you do it?" So, over the years I took courses and became very proficient at several trades in an effort to serve my customer's needs. When we began building our own spec homes, this enabled us to take out all the permits and pass all the inspections. So although not a journeyman plumber or electrician, I can do the work where permitted - which creates a 'synergistic' situation on our projects.
