Our Team
We have an amazing group of highly skilled roofers and sheet metal workers! Many will start their apprenticeship and achieve their journeyman Red Seal as part of our team. With the support of Union Local 276, employees are encouraged to pursue SkilledTradesBC training through RCABC, and are mentored by our senior journeymen who provide extensive on-the-job training.
Our crews are respectful of your time and property, they take pride in the work they do and the customer experience they provide.
