Great experience with Luke and his company, HighThorn Contracting, for our deck. Luke took the time to understand what we had envisioned and then executed it - we are so happy with our new deck. Would highly recommend this company for your next project.

Luke was excellent to work with for our project. We contracted Luke to demolish our old garage and build new and we couldn’t be happier with the final product. Luke’s pricing was very reasonable compared to other quotes we received, he was really helpful in planning, and he was transparent and communicative throughout the project. We highly recommend Luke for folks building a new garage around Edmonton!

HighThorn came out and did our fence as our old one was rotting away. We were extremely satisfied with the experience. The quality and craftsmanship was incredible. They accidentally trampled on some plants but we were compensated fairly. Can't recommend HighThorn enough!

Urban Haven Ltd. has had a great experience working with HighThorn Contracting on garage framing, decking for an acreage bungalow, and framing a duplex. Luke and the boys work is high quality, communication is clear, and they’re reliable and professional on site. We’d confidently recommend Highthorn Contracting for residential and multi-unit projects.
