We had Great Northern Construction take on a full deck remodel, and they absolutely nailed it. What used to be an eyesore is now a clean, solid, seriously good-looking outdoor space. The work was super professional, the communication was on point, and the whole process was way smoother than we expected. Klay had smart solutions, stuck to the timeline, and clearly takes pride in the work ,which shows in every detail. We’re stoked with how it turned out and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Reply: Thanks heaps! Stoked you’re happy with the deck — was a fun project and awesome to see it come together. Really appreciate the recommendation!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Great northern construction on our bathroom renovation, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, they were professional, communicative, and incredibly skilled. Every detail, from the tiling to the fixtures, was finished to perfection. They truly brought our vision to life and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. It’s rare to find a builder who is not only talented but also genuinely cares about the quality of their work and Klay absolutely exceeded all our expectations. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch craftsmanship and outstanding service! Reply: Really appreciate the kind words — stoked you’re so happy with the bathroom! Was an awesome project to be part of, and I’m glad we could make it a smooth and stress-free process. Thanks heaps for the recommendation!
