Cabin & Lake House Renovations

I grew up on these lakes, and cabin work is some of my favourite work. Down on the water or up at Silver Star, it's the same job done properly.

I was raised in Sicamous, right on the Shuswap, so lake-property work is second nature to me. Cabins and lake houses come with their own quirks: older construction, tricky access, seasonal use, and owners who love the place and want it done right. I understand all of it.

Up at SilverStar it's the same story with a different view. I look after a few cabins on the mountain already: kitchens, bathrooms, whole-cabin renovations and exterior work, often for owners who live somewhere else and need someone they can hand the keys to.

Whether it's modernizing an old family cabin, opening it up to the view, or fixing what the seasons have worn down, I'll treat your place like it's my own.

Common questions

Do you work on older cabins?

All the time. Older cabins are full of surprises, but I've seen most of them. I'll assess what you've got and tell you what's worth updating and what's fine to leave.

Can you help winterize a seasonal cabin?

Yes: insulation, heating, plumbing and the details that turn a summer place into a four-season one. It's a great way to get more out of a property you already love.

Do you service lakefront properties across the corridor?

From the Shuswap down through the Okanagan lakes, yes. Access and site conditions vary, and the quote will reflect what I see at your site.

Do you work up at Silver Star?

Yes, I have a few regular clients on the mountain. Same services as anywhere else I work, and summer and fall are the easiest windows for the bigger jobs. There is more on the SilverStar page.
