“Great work right from start to finish. Lyle will listen to what you want and need, plan the job, source the materials for your budget planning and get the job done well.

Thank you…already planning my next project with Halibut Cove Carpentry!”
“They just completed a very difficult job for me - ripping out some dry rot and installing new window casings on the front of my house. They milled the window casings on site, were in constant communication, no cost overruns, and kept a very tidy work site. A highly skilled and fun group to have around. I can't say enough!”
