“Jamie met with us to plan out both our kitchen renovation and our covered deck. He was excellent at keeping us apprised of progress, costs, and available options. He listened carefully and went out of his way to accommodate our ideas and suggestions. He was always cheerful and friendly and a pleasure to have around. He is a gifted carpenter and never left a mess or an unsafe environment. We thoroughly enjoy both our beautiful deck and our kitchen!”

Adapting existing spaces to new uses
This family’s house was built in the 1950s. They have raised their three kids in their old and beautiful home; however, they wanted to host family gatherings with all their kids and grandchildren! But the old space did not handle all the family very well.

Upgrading old to create a more contemporary look

Creating Special Spaces
My clients for this project have a very successful professional practice in Victoria but were spending more time on their projects off the island. They decided a condo which they could lock up and walk away from would be their week day base.

Fitting New to Old
This project was in a house from the 1890s and my clients wanted the new kitchen to maintain a feel of the old house and they wanted a sense of a French country kitchen to remind them of their many trips to Provence. Read more →

Creating Seamless Additions
My clients on this project have an old house with a lovely secluded back yard which they wanted to enjoy more of the time. As the house is an original Arts and Craft style they wanted the deck to blend with the house to continue the shingled Arts and Craft look.

“Jamie Stevenson of ʻHome on the Mendʼ has done a number of building and renovation projects for us over the years, and he is the person we call when we have an idea for a large or small improvement to our home. Jamie is a skilled, respectful and very tidy workman, conscious of timelines and budget. Most importantly, he is creative, able to listen to our ideas, see the vision and make it a reality for us.
A recent project was a beautiful deck off the back of our house. We are thrilled with this new addition to our outdoor space! We use the deck for entertaining, family meals, a play place for grand children and just sitting enjoying the sunshine.
Jamie listened to our list of parameters and created a beautifully integrated, easy care structure that echoes the style of the house and adds space on various levels down to the lawn. We called him back a year later with an idea of adding a spa to the mix! He ably completed this request and we hosted the family reunion in August in our enhanced outdoor living area.
We are looking forward to our next project together!”
