Exceptional Spaces, Built for a Lifetime
At Dovedale Carpentry, we blend decades of experience with a passion for creating exceptional spaces that last a lifetime.
Our Story
Dovedale Carpentry was founded by Steve, a Red Seal-certified carpenter with over 30 years of experience in both the UK and Canada. Having learned the craft from his father in a family business in the North of England, Steve’s skills are rooted in traditional techniques and providing exceptional quality.
After relocating to the Comox Valley in 2012, Steve established Dovedale Carpentry to provide custom carpentry and renovation services to the community he now calls home. Inspired by the scenic landscapes of the area and his love for outdoor adventures, Steve named the company after a town in England that holds a special place in his heart.
