I was lucky enough to find Cam and Appenzell Construction through a referral when he was based out of Whistler. Cam was hired to build a custom overhang for my hot tub, mechanical room for pool equipment as well as forming for custom stone walls.
Not only did Cam do the work wonderfully, on time and at a fair price (which is unheard of in Whistler) he went way above and beyond. I was having a pool constructed and the builder was terribly unorganized which created all kinds of problems getting trades to arrive at the designed time. Without being asked, Cam became my general contractor for the pool build on top of what he was hired for. He ensured that the trades did their jobs on time with a very tight time line. He basically took over the job of the pool builder and did not charge me extra for this critical work. As I live in Vancouver him being on site was critical. Truthfully, dealing with the pool builder and dealing with Muni took a year off my life and without Cam it would not have been completed.
The work that Cam did on the hot tub overhang was exquisite. It was a complicated engineered job that required a lot of complicated on site cuts where any screw up would be there for all to see as they sat in the hot tub and looked up. He went above and beyond when he sourced the materials. Through his work and persistance he saved me about $5,000 on the custom glass. He was always on site when other trades were installing important parts of the job. When the plans changed on the mechanical room (which was almost daily) he dropped other things, came early or stayed late to get the changes done so the other trades and cement pouring could happen on schedule.
I told Cam that contractors like him simply don't exist any more and if they did they certainly weren't in Whistler. Little did I know that he would soon be leaving Whistler for Revelstoke. I sorely miss him and have not found anyone like him since.
It has been several years now and the work he did is as good as the day he did it. It has survived terribly harsh conditions with all the rain Whistler gets in the spring and fall and I have had zero issues.
I wrote this review with pleasure because I was so happy with his work and I believe that anyone who uses him can consider themselves lucky to find such an honest and hardworking individual. If you wish to know more about my experience, you can get my contact information through Cam and I will be happy to share it with you.
