Custom Built

Jeff and Allyson live in a large heritage home, but with only one poorly organized bathroom with a tired ‘60s look, they need to renovate it to match the aesthetic of the rest of the house. Paul comes up with an innovative design that blends modern bathroom appliances and the heritage flavour of the home, exposing brick behind the shower, adding a vanity made form salvaged barn beam and a soaker tub.

Brian and Allison have always dreamed of owning a cottage, so they decide to recreate that cottage feel in their home. Paul transforms their great room into a warm inviting space with a central stone fireplace, and adds a vintage canoe hung from the ceiling for visual flair. Paul builds a special breakfast bar for his foreman Jimmy who is recovering from a stroke.

Jeremy and Tabitha want their cluttered family room to reflect their love of the West Coast and be neat and orderly. Paul turns their cramped room into a well-organized space with sliding screens, tons of storage and a cool Pacific flair. Christina and Allen bring in some old barn doors to the workshop, and Paul turns them into a showpiece wine cabinet.

Tim and Terri Anne just bought their dream home and want a unique mudroom space where their kids can get ready for school. They want it to be functional but personal, so Paul creates a space that reflects their love for travel and their careers as teachers. He builds 4 storage lockers fronted by a glass map of the world, earthy wooden barn boards and a hidden laundry corner. Paul and his crew revamp Karen’s derelict piano into a cocktail bar for her country home.

Single mom of three Terri has been saving up for 20 years to renovate her kitchen, and the time has finally come to take the plunge. Paul remodels the layout and creates Terri’s dream kitchen, complete with a custom breakfast bar, peninsula table for entertaining, and a functional but sophisticated galley kitchen. Kimberly commissions Paul to build her a media center to house her new 55-inch flat screen TV, all done in an updated mid-century modern style.

David and Andrea spent two years renovating their entire home, but left their primary bedroom until last. And with two active young boys, the couple needs their own personal bathroom. Paul has carte blanche with this bedroom and gives them a sleek modern in-suite bathroom with a massive two-person rain shower, and a unique room divider with built in cupboards and a vanity. Claudia wants a coffee table and a dining table for her small urban apartment, so Paul builds a table that transforms from a compact coffee table with storage to a four-person dining table.
