Over 35 years of hands-on craftsmanship transforming homes across Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, and Guelph. From kitchen installation and interior finishing to century home renovations, additions, decks, and pergolas.
35+ Years of Woodworking Heritage, Pride, and Integrity
Noel began practicing woodworking at the age of 15 in El Salvador, learning with traditional hand tools that instill patience, grain understanding, and deep respect for lumber. Over 22 years ago, he made Kitchener-Waterloo his permanent home and community.
In Canada, he formalised his craft by completing the intensive Cabinetmaker 3-Year Apprenticeship Program at Conestoga College (2007–2008).
His versatile background spans handcrafted wood interiors for luxury motorhomes (Roadtrek), intricate grandfather clocks (Art of Time Ltd.), commercial trade displays (Palmer Audio), and site supervision for complex century-home underpinning and structural renovations. With additional studies in agroecological engineering, he brings a unique passion for sustainable outdoor living and home food security.

Drag the slider handle to reveal how rotting structures, cracked concrete, and vacant lawns were converted into code-compliant architectural centerpieces built for Canadian weather.
The century-old porch roof suffered from severe wood rot and water infiltration. Supported temporarily by cargo ratchet straps and emergency props, it posed an urgent safety hazard to the occupants.
Surgically stripped the failing roof while preserving historic brick columns. Anchored a heavy structural ledger, built an engineered timber pergola, and crafted a second-story walkout cedar sun deck with black aluminum balusters and curved knee braces.
The original builder-grade deck was severely rotting, with decaying stringers, unsafe steps, and an open, untidy crawlspace that ruined backyard enjoyment.
Constructed an expansive multi-tier Western Red Cedar deck featuring an integrated staircase, solid vertical privacy skirting concealing clean dry storage, and low-maintenance aluminum balusters.
An empty sloped backyard lawn with an awkward drop from the sliding door and zero shaded space for family gatherings or summer dining.
Engineered a split-level terrace with deep Sonotube footings, an upper dining deck, integrated stairs, and an architectural cedar pergola with decorative beveled rafter tails.
