MEET DUSTIN & THE HAND AND HAMMER FAMILY

When you hire a contractor, you’re doing more than just upgrading your home, you are inviting someone into your daily life. As a family-owned business deeply rooted in the East Kootenays, we treat every project as if we were working on our own house. My family and I built Hand and Hammer on a simple foundation: do honest work, communicate clearly, and never cut corners. When you work with us, you aren’t dealing with a faceless corporation; you’re partnering with a neighbor who stands behind every nail.

We have just renovated our kitchen and some other side work. We are so happy with Hand & Hammer Contracting Inc. And his crew is really nice and professional. He has someone for everything you need for what you want done. Dustin's communication was great. He answered at all times, no matter the question or time. We will be using him for the rest of the house in the future. Thank you Dustin and your whole team

I was beside myself finding someone to build us a fence for the inherited chickens that apparently came with the house we bought. My border collie gave herself the job of herding these poor chickens, and the fence was not keeping her out. . Dustin was fabulous to arrange everything with. He was super responsive, knowledgeable, and reliable. A breath if fresh air after non responsive contractors. Payton was my go to builder. They not only built us a dog proof fence, but also a fabulous coop with all the bells and whistles. I will be using these guys again for our renos moving forwards and i highly recommend hand and hammer

Dustin and his team came to my rescue when a tenant left my house in need of repair. Dustin kept in contact with me every step of the way. Not only was he efficient, every member of his team was meticulous and took pride in their work. I am overjoyed with all the work that was done, from painting to plumbing and cabinetry repair. I highly recommend Hand and Hammer if you are looking for a stress free high quality experience for your home projects. Thank you so much Dustin. . Dustin was fabulous to arrange everything with.

We are SO HAPPY thanks to Dustin and his team 😊 We hired Hand and Hammer for an exterior renovation on our log home. The scope of work involved lots of demolition, design and building. Dustin and Brandy were wonderful to work with throughout the project with quick replies and kindness. Peyton and Adam were a pleasure to have around often whistling and singing as they go about their work. They keep a clean and organized site with the help of Lovepreet and Ryder. We look forward to having the team around here in the future. . Dustin was fabulous to arrange everything with. He was super responsive, knowledgeable, and reliable.

If you folks need a home Reno contractor hit these guys up! Hand and Hammer: Hand and hammer have been a very thoughtful and solutions based contractor. They have worked very closely to our needs and came to our aid when all was in chaos from a leak in the kitchen and basement. They have worked with us to get to our goal of a kitchen and basement refurbishment. The staff are courteous and quick to act. All in all a pleasant experience. A centre of calm in the storm of home renovation. These guys are spot on!

HUGE THANK YOU to Hand & Hammer Contracting for upgrading our home 🙌 We recently had Dustin & his crew complete a custom privacy wall to our deck & are so thrilled with the results. Dustin listened to our ideas & brought them to life while working within our budget. 10/10 recommend. These guys were quick, clean, efficient & paid great attention to detail. We are so pleased with the choice of the mechanical louvering based on Dustin’s suggestion. It really is lovely feature to keep an eye on the kids & to still enjoy our yard & a breeze! We are planning a top to bottom home renovation in the near future & Hand and Hammer contracting has sealed our business. We can’t thank you guys enough!

The result is a stunning, energy-efficient home built to modern BC building codes, perfectly tailored for the homeowners’ lifestyle. We don’t just fix homes; we realize their full potential.
