One numberfor the whole job.
Most renovations go sideways in the gaps between trades — the electrician who never showed, the drywaller booked before the rough-in passed. We coordinate the whole crew so those gaps are our problem, not yours.

The trades we pull from
A general contractor is only as good as the people they can actually get on site. These are the trades we coordinate — the same people, job after job, because we already know whose work holds up.
How a job runs
Renovations have an order, and skipping a step is what turns a three-week job into a three-month one. Here is the sequence we hold to.
Walkthrough
We come look at it in person. Free, no obligation, and you get a straight answer on whether what you want is realistic for the space and the budget.
Scope & quote
A written scope of what is included and what is not, with the trades named. If something is likely to turn up once we open a wall, we say so before you sign, not after.
Schedule & permits
Trades get booked in the right order and any permits go in. This is the part homeowners lose weeks on when they coordinate it themselves.
Demo & rough-in
Tear-out, framing, then electrical, plumbing and ventilation while the walls are open. Nothing gets closed up until the rough-in is done and inspected.
Close-in & finishes
Insulation, drywall, tape, paint, flooring, trim and fixtures — in that order, so no finished surface gets wrecked by the trade that follows it.
Walkthrough & punch list
We walk it with you and write down every last thing you are not happy with. The job is done when that list is empty, not when the trades have left.
New company.
Not new to the work.
True North Tradesmen is a new business, and we would rather say that up front than pad this page with stock photos of somebody else's kitchen.
What is not new is the work. Years on southern Alberta job sites is how we know which framer shows up on a Monday and which one doesn't — and that knowledge is the actual thing we are selling. Ask us for references on the trades we would put on your job, and we will give you real ones.
Where we work
Based in Lethbridge, working across southern Alberta. Outside this list? Call anyway — if it is a fit we will tell you, and if it is not we will point you at someone closer.
