When we moved into our new home I wanted to create a feature wall for family photos using picture rails. From my first conversation with Gordon he knew exactly what it was I wanted and was able to create it exactly how I imagined it to be. He built and installed the shelves and advised me how to best display our family pictures. I really enjoyed working with Gordon, he was prompt, professional and the quality of his work is outstanding. I am extremely pleased with the end result.

Gordon's craftmanship and attention to detail are second to none. We hired him to build an office area and storage/bookcase in a small den. He incorporated my ideas, made excellant additions and delivered fantastic functional products! The improvents to our den provide much needed function as well as he was able to repurpose wood from tables and headboard into the design. Highly Recommend

Comment from gordonbuilt:
This was one of the best projects of the year for me where everything just 'clicked.' After all, all projects have challenges; whether it be in design, budget, or having product arrive on-time and on budget - things you have no control of. Having engaging clients like Mr. + Mrs. Tessier are a testament to how projects evolve and come out looking great. Mrs. T, gave up her time to sit down and draw with me her design ideas on my iPad when we first started to talk about her Office/den ideas - the full-wish list plus requesting some soon-to-be discarded head-boards and old coffee tables be re-purposed for her new projects.
I designed a shallow niche book-shelf and off-season clothing rack for her room that stretched across an unused portion of her den/office. Only 14" deep, it seems volumous without being monolithic. Her old walnut head-board was cut down in three sections to accommodate a floating door scenario with internal adjustable shelves. The mirror was top-hung with a blind internal running rail to easily and effortless slide over to access her off-season clothing/storage.
Even her Gold Trophies and many work awards and citations were given a prominent placement at the top of the casement composition with a LV thrust lighting to add dramatic back-lite giving the one light room more of a welcoming ambient glow. We incorporated the on/off switch in the toe-kick of the unit - as the adjacent wall ( we found out later ) was a support cement wall. It was an awesome project for some pretty-terrific people. Thanks so much for the great review Mrs. T! - GRJ

We have an historic stained glass window and the trim rotted over time. Through friends they advised to call GordonBuilt. Gordon advised the builders of our house used MDF not wood. Gordon is very organised and brought his tools to our home and said that he would be at our home for 4 hours which he was and he would be back and forth over the next few days to sand, paint primer and finally two coats of paint. Gordon is polite, caring, very resourceful and has great sense of humour. His advice is from a man who considers the problem and comes up with solutions. Our home has more problem areas and we will not hesitate to contact Gordon for him to advise of our next step. Do yourself a favour and call Gordon, you wont be sorry!

Thanks for this Catherine,
It was a pleasure to help and assist you with your beautiful arched window this Summer. After ridding the existing MDF trim ( which was a bad choice from the beginning ) and replacing it with a clear pine, it will certainly give you and your family more years of enjoyment. Glad to have helped. It was a rewarding project seeing it coming together and working with you. Best to you, GRJ

I was delighted with Gordon and his work. He is affable, respectful, courteous, smart, and resourceful. His work is consistently top notch - I know from my own experience and that of my neighbors, that there doesn't seem to be anything that Gordon can't do and do well. He is very conscientious and I would refer him without hesitation.

Gordon is one of the city's most creative and professional individuals in Edmonton's renovation industry. His keen eye for details and passion for design make him a specialist in his field. Gordon is a perfectionist and will ensure the end result is flawless, beautiful and lasts for years to come.

gordonbuilt created a stunning teak barn door off the entry of my mid-century modern two-storey last year. With the home office space right inside my front door, I wanted a standout piece that would immediately wow visitors as they stepped inside. Gordon came through beautifully and the door gets rave reviews. Not only were the design and craftsmanship exquisite, Gordon sourced beautiful hardware to match his work and at a decent price point too. The installation went off smoothly and on time—in fact, he had to wait for me to be ready! As a bonus, Gordon was a great creative partner to work with, and we had many lively discussions about my whole renovation project throughout the process.
