Why You Should Hire a General Contractor in Nelson, BC

Building or renovating a home in Nelson is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make. Heavy snowfall, steep terrain, and strict BC building codes mean that who leads your project matters — and working with a licensed General Contractor is the right call.

At Sasquatch Carpentry, every project is led by a General Contractor, ensuring your build meets all provincial standards, passes every inspection, and is engineered for the unique demands of the Kootenays — including municipal permits, snow loads, and zoning compliance.

Led by Tom Klein: 20+ Years of Red Seal Excellence

Sasquatch Carpentry is built on the expertise of Tom Klein, a Red Seal Journeyman Carpenter and licensed General Contractor with over two decades of experience. Tom started his career in Whistler, crafting high-end custom homes before bringing that expertise to Nelson in 2010. He’s worked on timber frames, commercial structures, and even built his own timber frame home right here in Nelson.

 He doesn’t just manage projects. He builds them with the same care he’d put into his own home.

 Rooted in the Kootenays

 Tom kiteboards on Kootenay Lake, skis with his wife and two sons, and is raising his family in this community. That connection shapes how we work — with focus, integrity, and craftsmanship we’d want in our own home.

 At Sasquatch Carpentry, we don’t just build houses. We build lasting relationships.
