Touchwood Builds started with a simple idea: to combine timeless craftsmanship with designs that truly work for modern families. What began as small projects, like building decks and tackling renovations, quickly evolved into a passion for creating spaces that inspire. Over time, we transitioned from flipping our own homes to designing and building custom homes for others—a journey marked by learning, refining, and perfecting our craft.
A pivotal moment in our history came when we were featured on Bryan Baeumler’s “Leave it to Bryan.” This opportunity showcased not only our technical expertise but also our ability to turn bold, creative visions into reality. It was a testament to the dedication and talent of our team, and it helped solidify Touchwood Builds as a trusted name in luxury custom homes.
As we’ve grown, so has our vision. Today, we specialize in crafting homes that seamlessly blend beauty and functionality, with a focus on transparency, efficiency, and excellence in every detail. Strong relationships with our trades and suppliers have been instrumental to our success. By prioritizing these partnerships, we ensure every project runs smoothly and delivers results that exceed expectations.
From Burlington to surrounding communities, our homes reflect a commitment to quality, innovation, and the belief that every family deserves a space that feels uniquely theirs. We’re proud of how far we’ve come—and even more excited about the homes we’ve yet to build.
We’re honored to have been recognized for our dedication to quality and innovation:
As an architect, my goal is to turn dreams into reality by creating designs that are both innovative and timeless. I focus on understanding the unique needs of each client and translating them into plans that maximize space, function, and beauty.
At Touchwood Builds, collaboration is key. Working closely with our clients, trades, and team ensures that every detail of the design comes together seamlessly. When I’m not drafting plans, I enjoy exploring new architectural trends and finding inspiration in everyday structures. Off-site, I enjoy working on innovative projects, including designing and building my own home.
As a framer, I like to think of my work as setting the stage for everything that comes next. Every beam, joint, and structure I build lays the foundation for a home that’s built to last. My focus is always on precision and ensuring that the framework aligns perfectly with the design.
I’ve been framing homes for years, and each project brings new challenges and opportunities to refine my craft. Knowing that my work is the backbone of a family’s future home keeps me motivated to deliver my best every time. When I’m not working, I enjoy building projects of my own, from modified trucks to even an airplane!
A well-designed HVAC system can make all the difference in a home’s comfort and energy efficiency. My team and I focus on integrating systems that not only perform beautifully but also complement the overall design. By working closely with the plumbing and electrical teams, we minimize design disruptions like bulkheads and maximize functionality.
With years of experience, I’ve learned that every home is unique, and I approach each project with fresh eyes. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring innovations in green building and finding ways to bring them to our projects.
Every great home starts with a solid foundation, and that begins with precise excavation. As the leader of our excavation team, I take pride in ensuring every dig is accurate and efficient, laying the groundwork for a smooth building process.
Using advanced tools and techniques, I make sure each site is ready for construction without delays. Whether it’s leveling ground or digging out intricate layouts, I focus on creating a perfect canvas for our builds.
Waste management might not be glamorous, but it’s vital to a clean, efficient worksite. My job is to ensure that every project runs smoothly by coordinating the removal of debris and maintaining a safe, organized environment.
I manage a dedicated team that works tirelessly to keep our sites spotless and ready for the next stage of construction. Whether it’s turning bins for the framers or clearing out after landscaping, I ensure nothing slows down our progress. In my spare time, I enjoy exploring eco-friendly solutions for waste management in construction.
A home’s foundation is its most critical component, and I treat every project as if I were building my own. With years of experience in pouring and leveling concrete, I ensure every footing, slab, and step is flawless.
Precision is everything in my work. Whether it’s laser-leveling footings or designing basements that stay dry and durable, I focus on creating a foundation that supports the entire structure. In my downtime, I enjoy sharing my knowledge with the next generation of builders
Drywalling is often one of the most transformative stages of a build, and I take pride in making every surface seamless and ready for the final finish. With my team, we handle everything from installation to mudding, taping, and sanding, ensuring precision at every step.
This stage may feel slow to some, but it’s where the foundations for a flawless interior are built. Each layer is an investment in the home’s beauty and durability.
Finding the perfect lot is often the first step in building a dream home, and I’m here to guide our clients through the process. With years of experience in real estate and a background in home renovations, I have a keen eye for properties with potential.
My role is more than just finding land—I help clients navigate negotiations, zoning, and planning to ensure the site is ready for Touchwood’s expertise. Outside of work, I enjoy scouting hidden gems in neighborhoods and exploring how real estate trends influence design.
With nearly three decades of experience, I’ve seen the industry evolve, and I pride myself on staying ahead by combining timeless craftsmanship with modern techniques. My role is to ensure every project reflects the quality Touchwood Builds stands for, from the initial concept to the final walkthrough.
I believe that attention to detail is what sets extraordinary homes apart from the rest. Whether it’s troubleshooting challenges or fine-tuning the finishing touches, I’m hands-on every step of the way. When I’m not on-site, I’m likely brainstorming new ways to elevate our client experience or enjoying time with my family.
Design is about more than aesthetics—it’s about creating spaces that work for the people who live in them. With a background in finance and design, I bring a unique perspective to every project, blending practicality with beauty to ensure every home is as functional as it is stunning.
I love helping clients turn their vision into a reality. From selecting finishes to optimizing layouts, I’m here to guide them through the design process and make it as seamless and enjoyable as possible. Outside of work, I’m a proud homeschool mom of four boys and find inspiration in every corner of life.
Every successful project relies on strong coordination, and that’s where I come in. I’m responsible for ensuring that every stage of the build runs smoothly, from the foundation to the final finishes. By keeping our trades and timelines aligned, I help bring each client’s vision to life without unnecessary delays.
I take pride in maintaining a clean and organized job site—it’s not just about efficiency, but also about creating an environment where precision and craftsmanship can thrive. In my downtime, I enjoy working on personal projects that fuel my creativity and keep me sharp.
Plumbing might not be the first thing people notice in a home, but it’s one of the most important systems for functionality and comfort. With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in creating efficient, reliable plumbing systems that integrate seamlessly into each home’s design.
At Touchwood Builds, collaboration is everything. Working alongside the HVAC and framing teams, I ensure that plumbing runs are optimized to avoid unnecessary bulkheads, maintaining the integrity of the home’s aesthetic. Outside of work, I still love catching a good Canadian football game—it’s where I started before pursuing this trade!
Windows are more than just a source of light—they’re an essential element of design and energy efficiency. Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of installing windows in some of the most beautiful homes Touchwood Builds has created. My goal is always to balance practicality with stunning curb appeal.
Whether it’s selecting the right style or ensuring a flawless installation, I take pride in every detail of my work. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that my efforts help shape the first impression of a home.
Stonework is an art, and I’m passionate about crafting exteriors that are as durable as they are beautiful. As Touchwood’s lead mason, I work with a team of skilled artisans to ensure every home we build has a striking, seamless finish.
From facades to custom stone accents, I focus on creating designs that enhance curb appeal while standing the test of time. When I’m not laying bricks, I’m mentoring new tradespeople to pass on the craft I love.
The electrical systems in a home should be both functional and future-ready, and that’s where I come in. As Touchwood’s master electrician, I oversee everything from rough-ins to final installations, ensuring safety and efficiency throughout the project.
I work closely with the design team to align electrical layouts with each client’s needs, whether it’s planning for smart home systems or creating ambiance with custom lighting. Outside of work, I’m always researching new innovations in energy efficiency and automation.
Tilework is a craft that demands precision, and I focus on getting every detail right. I carefully measure and lay tiles to maximize material use and design impact, ensuring the final result is both functional and beautiful.
I confirm all patterns before starting to guarantee the vision aligns with the project’s goals. Over the years, I’ve worked on several full-house projects and referral sites, building a reputation for reliability and flawless execution.
