Project Manager
Jeff: Managing Seamless Transformations
Behind every successful renovation is a skilled project manager, and Jeff is one of the best. With years of experience in the field, Jeff ensures that projects run smoothly, clients feel supported, and visions become reality. When he’s not coordinating schedules and job sites, Jeff is busy enjoying life on the water or cruising to hidden gems in his convertible.
Here’s a glimpse into Jeff’s role, insights, and passions.
How did you get started in construction?
I've worked in construction in some way since I was a young adult. After high school, I wasn't sure what path to take, but my grandmother encouraged me to work for my uncle, who was a contractor.
I quickly realized how much I enjoyed working with my hands, transforming spaces, and meeting new people. Seeing a client's vision come to life was really rewarding. While working for my uncle, I also completed my carpenter's apprenticeship, which deepened my understanding of the trade.
After many years on the tools, I was ready for something new. That's what led me to project management. Now, I get to apply everything I've learned in a different way - leading projects, solving problems, and sharing my experience with the team.
What’s the most challenging part of managing a renovation project?
The most challenging part is always being an effective communicator, especially during a heavy workload. Making sure that homeowners, staff, and sub-trades are all on the same page and up to date takes constant effort and attention. Clear communication is key to keeping everything on track and avoiding unnecessary delays or confusion.
What’s your favourite part of the renovation process?
My favourite part is when the vision starts coming to life. After weeks or sometimes months of planning and hard work – depending on the size of the project – it’s rewarding to see all the time and effort pay off. That’s the moment when everything starts coming together and the space begins to transform.
What’s one piece of advice you’d give to clients to help make the renovation process smoother for everyone involved?
Flexibility is key during a renovation. Unexpected issues can arise, like structural issues or delays in materials, but we work hard to keep things running smoothly and minimize disruptions. A collaborative mindset and understanding can make the process much more enjoyable. In the end, our goal is to create a space you’ll love spending time in, feel proud to share with others, and enjoy for years to come.
Do you have any personal projects or renovations you’ve done in your own home?
I’ve completed many renovation projects over the years in my own homes, including decks, doors (both interior and exterior), bathrooms, kitchens, basements, window replacements, skylights, tile flooring, and hardwood flooring. It’s always satisfying to work on my own space and create something functional and beautiful.
When you’re not managing projects, how do you like to spend your free time?
I enjoy spending my free time with my daughter – it’s always great to slow down and enjoy those moments together. In the warmer months, you’ll usually find me out on the water. I also have a fair-weather vehicle, and I love cruising with the top down to those out-of-the-way places that offer a little peace and quiet.
If you weren’t a project manager, what other career do you think you’d enjoy?
I think I’d enjoy being a helicopter pilot. I actually held a commercial helicopter pilot license for a time. There’s something incredibly exciting about flying – it’s an experience like no other.
