Hey! We’re John and Keisha Butler. Butler Carpentry isn’t just a business—it’s a reflection of who we are.
Specializing in high-end home renovation in Vancouver, we are excited about transforming ordinary rooms into luxurious, functional, and personalized spaces that you’ll love for years to come.
Our journey began in Ireland, where we both grew up in homes that were built to last. John’s family home, still standing strong after nearly 200 years, and Keisha’s, approaching 100, instilled in us a deep appreciation for quality and craftsmanship. This European tradition of building with care and durability for every design and renovation is at the heart of everything we do.
When we moved to Vancouver over a decade ago, we brought with us a commitment to craftsmanship that goes beyond meeting standards—we aim to improve on them. As one of the top construction companies in Vancouver, we believe every project is a partnership.
We take the time to understand your ideas, needs, and how you want your space to work for you. From the first conversation to the final touches, we’re dedicated to making your renovation experience smooth, enjoyable, and ultimately rewarding.
Curious about how we can transform your space?
Let’s chat and turn your ideas into your reality.
