Shipping container bunkie with rooftop deck built by Jeff Steffan
Custom carpentry · Markdale to Orangeville

It doesn't
exist. Yet.

Decks, kitchens, bathrooms, built-ins and the one-off builds nobody else will take on. If you can think it, Jeff can build it.

What he builds

No catalogue, no cookie-cutter kits. Every job is designed around the space and the people using it.

Cool things he's made

Not your average job

The builds people stop and ask about. Bring Jeff a weird idea and a pile of stuff, and he'll figure it out.

01 · The container bunkie

Someone had a shipping container and an idea. Jeff turned it into a timber-clad bunkie with patio doors and a rooftop deck.

02 · The 1952 pickup bar

A rusted-out 1952 pickup box sitting in a field. Now it's the best seat at every party: a rolling bar with a live-edge top.

Gutted. Rebuilt. Done right.

Drag the slider. This bathroom went from peeling walls and a stained tub to a clean, panelled shower surround with new fixtures.

Out with the old deck.

Tired white railings and an old stair, replaced with a two-level deck, wide steps and a black metal rail. Drag to see the difference.
