Testimonials

Amazing Work! Wes and his team at Serenity Construction Ltd. did an awesome job building our deck! We gave them the design we had in mind, and they built it exactly the way we wanted. Super quick, super clean — they left everything spotless after the work was done. They also did our sidewalk, and it turned out great too. These guys work fast and really know what they're doing. Definitely recommend them for any deck or construction work you need. Thanks again, Wes and team!

What a positive experience to work with this team. Not only was Wes quick to respond, he was helpful, attentive to details and quick to follow up on feedback or work to be addressed. I would happily recommend Serenity to all my properties for their deck projects and hope to be able to work with them again! Thank you Serenity!

- LesleyAnn Dickenson

Wes and team came out in January and gave a quote, they then we're able to come mid April and complete it. Communication and expectation setting was great, materials used are awesome and they cleaned up the site nicely too. Would highly recommend to anyone.
