About our (family) buisness
At Hand and Hammer we pride ourselves on being an East Kootenay family owned and operated buisness.
LOCALLY OWNED & OPERATED IN CRANBROOK
MEET DUSTIN & THE HAND AND HAMMER FAMILY
At Hand and Hammer, the name isn’t just a brand—it’s a personal promise. Owned and operated by Dustin Potorti and his wife, Hand and Hammer was born out of a shared passion for the East Kootenay lifestyle and a drive to bring a higher standard of integrity to the local trades. We realized that in a region as rugged and beautiful as ours, a home needs to be more than just a shelter; it needs to be a sanctuary built to withstand the elements and a space where a family’s best memories are made.
Quality is everything
east kootenay specifics
Dustin has a career built on technical precision and a “do it right the first time” mentality, he has spent years mastering the complexities of the Kootenay climate. Whether he’s navigating the structural requirements of a high-altitude rebuild in Kimberley or engineering a heated shop in Jaffray, Dustin’s approach is rooted in grit and transparency. He believes that a contractor’s true skill is hidden behind the drywall—in the framing, the insulation, and the structural integrity that ensures a home lasts for generations.
