Custom Cedar Stairs for a client who needed extra wide stairs for her elderly dog and a lower handrail for children. Her testimonial: 'Matt was very pleasant to work with from start to finish on my back stair rebuild. As well as being a good carpenter, he is skilled on many important levels including: communication, solving design challenges and is knowledgeable about available products and materials. My new stairs look and feel great and I would highly recommend him.' -Susan
Pressure Treated steps on College street with secure storage space underneath.

The job below was complex and challenging. Client had existing steps and shed built under, that needed to be turned and run in a different direction to allow for the expansion of a basement window well. I designed the new steps, shortened the existing shed (with tiny door!), repaired a lot of age related damage, and dug and poured a new concrete window well to code (not pictured- concrete is not my favourite, but I can handle small concrete pours). Added some extras like a hatch to small storage under the new stair landing, and shelves inside the shed. Complex jobs like these keep you on your toes!

In the following image, I tore out a closet and rebuilt steps into this clients basement (on a budget!).

Client Testimonial:

I can attest to Matt doing great work. He is knowledgeable, timely, efficient and in 15 years of owning my home in this neighbourhood, one of the best craftsmen I have met!
