Custom Carpentry North Vancouver

Custom carpentry North Vancouver and across the North Shore — we design and build structures for the terrain, the climate, and how the space will actually be used.

Custom carpentry North Vancouver and across the North Shore demands more than quality materials and a steady hand. The terrain, the site conditions, and the Pacific Northwest climate all put outdoor structures to the test in ways that show up years down the line. We design and build custom carpentry across the North Shore and Sea to Sky — structures designed around the property they sit on and built to hold up on it. We work from your brief, from a designer’s plans, or as a collaborative partner on larger projects.

Fencing & Gates

Cedar fencing and custom gates built for the North Shore climate and designed to work with the property they’re on. Post setting is done for the specific soil and grade conditions of each site. Gates are specified to match the fence line or designed as a standalone feature. Privacy screens are built freestanding or integrated into a broader patio or pergola build.

Pergolas & Structures

A pergola is often what ties an outdoor space together — the structure that defines the layout, adds covered living area, and gives the yard a sense of purpose. We build custom pergolas in cedar, steel, and mixed materials, in pitched and flat roof profiles, attached to the home or freestanding. Every build is designed around the architecture of the house, the grade of the site, and how the space is going to be used.

Sheds

From clean storage structures to fully finished workshops with electrical, lighting, and purpose-built interiors — we design and build custom sheds and outbuildings that complement the home and hold up to the conditions. Every build is positioned for access, matched in finish to the existing architecture, and built to the same standard as everything else we do.

Our Process

Every project starts with a site visit. We look at the property, the existing structures, and what you’re trying to achieve before anything is priced or planned. From there we develop a scope — working from your brief, a designer’s plans, or a combination of both. Once on site: one team, one point of contact, a clear timeline.

Western red cedar is our standard for fence installation North Vancouver. It’s naturally rot-resistant, handles the Pacific Northwest climate well without constant treatment, and finishes cleanly whether you leave it to silver naturally or apply a stain. We use pressure-treated posts set in concrete for long-term stability.

This varies widely based on material selection, site conditions, and project scope. We’d be happy to walk you through our pricing during a site visit and give you a clear list of options.

We sometimes use prefab panels for a cost effective, simple fence, however, we specialize in custom built fences. Often, more durable, aesthetically pleasing, and seamlessly integrated – our custom fences stand out amongst the rest.

Yes — fencing, gates, and privacy screens are available as standalone builds and as part of larger outdoor projects that include patios, pergolas, or site work.

It depends on the structure. Decks attached to the house and pergolas above a certain size typically require permits in North Vancouver and West Vancouver. Fencing usually doesn’t. Sheds depend on square footage and placement. We assess this at the quote stage and handle the application where it’s needed.

Cedar is our most common material for fencing, pergolas, and outdoor structures — naturally rot-resistant, handles Pacific Northwest humidity well, and finishes cleanly. We also work with pressure-treated lumber, steel, and composite materials where the design or conditions call for it.

Both. We can develop a design from a brief and a site visit, work from plans you already have, or collaborate with a designer you’re working with. We’ll advise on the approach that makes most sense for your project.
