General Carpenter and Craftsman 4 hire

My name is James Douglas Guy Turner, and I am a seasoned General Carpenter with over 35 years of hands-on experience in the construction industry. I’ve worked across Alberta and British Columbia on a wide range of projects, from off-grid timber-frame cabins to high-rise towers. My focus has always been on doing the job right the first time — with integrity, skill, and pride in my work. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to contract for some of Western Canada’s most respected builders and developers, including: Jayman Homes – residential subdivisions and custom homes Shane Homes – structural framing and mid-stage carpentry Beattie Homes – framing and finishing in large-scale residential developments ITC Construction Group – high-rise framing, formwork, and commercial fit-outs PCL Construction – mixed-use commercial structures and multi-storey builds Projects I’ve contributed to include: Multi-unit townhouse complexes in Calgary and Edmonton High-rise concrete and steel residential towers in downtown Vancouver Timber-frame cabins and off-grid homes in BC’s interior Custom home builds and additions in Victoria and surrounding areas Structural repairs, retrofits, and heritage renovations across various job sites My hands-on carpentry skills include: Framing and structural layout – walls, floors, roofs, beams, and trusses Deck construction and outdoor structures – code-compliant, long-lasting builds Concrete formwork – precise and reliable for footings and slabs Interior carpentry – stairs, trims, cabinetry, and finishing work Renovations and repairs – seamless integration with existing structures Blueprint reading and site adaptation – always accurate and dependable Team leadership and coordination – capable of managing crews or working solo I come fully equipped with all my own tools and most of my own equipment, including: Full framing and finishing tool pouch Jobsite power tools: table saws, mitre saws, chop saws, cordless gear Specialty tools for cabinetry, stair systems, and custom builds Ladders, stands, jackhammers, post hole augers, and more In the past, I operated my own small contracting business and managed full-scope residential projects. While I’m proud of those years, life changed, and I chose to step away from running a business. At this point in my career, I’m not looking to restart a company. Instead, I prefer to work as a contract employee or independent contractor, offering my skills to new and growing companies who want a dependable, highly experienced carpenter that shows up fully prepared and ready to get the job done. If you’re looking for someone who brings decades of experience, a full set of tools, and a solid work ethic — I’d be happy to talk. Sincerely, James D.G. Turner 778-677-3577
