examples of our work:
A Hardwood stair renovation using Oak Treads and railings
A rear fire-escape in the southend with room for a bistro table and enough space on the railing to place a drink
There is more than enough sunlight coming in to our hydrostone addition, a smart way to achieve some passive solar heating
feel welcome to browse this gallery of some of our past projects!
a few key skapa values are:
serving our community and creating more comfortable and more functional spaces
Taking pride in our work and self-performing
Listening to the customer and understanding their goals
Our deck for chop steakhouse was initially supposed to have planter boxes instead of railings. after seeing how the deck came together we changed the design completely to include glass railings. a design we think suits downtown Halifax much better!
