I am very disappointed to their truss and joist package services. I have been working with them before for many projects, which were fine. But recently I sent them a project about 3 months ago, and then send a couple emails to follow up after that, there was no response. Until a few weeks ago when I called them, they said sorry we are busy and can't do this project. It delays my client's project for 2 months. They didn't let me know that they can't do it, even after I sent a few follow up emails. and their only answer is sorry we are too busy. I talked to their supervisor a few weeks ago, and he

We had Northland build a garage/shop with a second floor loft at our lake lot. The unit is 30x36 with a shed dormer. The quality of the finished product is very good. It was great working with Northland’s technical folks in the design phase of the work, they had lots of good ideas from previous projects + a can-do attitude in coming up with a… custom design that met all our needs. Northland has a team of solid subs that take a lot of pride in their work. It was a very rainy summer in the Edmonton area this year, so there were lots of challenges in finding dry enough days to execute

Just got our Garage and pad finished by Northland in time for winter weather. Working with Brent and his crew was excellent and any concerns we had were answered and dealt with. Quality of work was very well done , and all the trades were good to deal with. I had gotten quotes and dealt with about 4 other firms before deciding to go with Northland.… My neighbors had garages built by them also.
The final cost was a little over budget for us , but well below what other companies were charging. They also have many years experience doing this. We are very happy with the final result , and would

Originally I had thought Northlands was excellent. I am building a large custom home. In the end, 27 of 81 trusses were wrong. They had to bring in a crane to completely remove two of the huge 3 ply girder trusses and my framer had to cut and reframe some trusses as well. Out of the 27 they replaced around a dozen were rebuilt completely. They… suggested my framer was at fault for most. The balance of the 27 were designed wrong. In the end, my costs are at least half the $16000 truss bill. Framing cost and crane alone were over $3000. The owner says "Maximum $2000" to fix.

Hello
We purchased a garage package from Northland last fall and were extremely happy with the quality of materials and the help from staff throughout the build. Brent and Robert at Northland were great and helped with everything from permits to planning and were always flexible in providing package modifications to make sure I ended up with the perfect garage package to fit my needs. The material was outstanding! The carpenter I hired to assist me with the build kept commenting on how strait the lumber was and it sure made keeping things plumb allot easier. Very happy with the package and help

I contacted Northlands for a garage package and it was a great experience from the first conversation with Robert to the sign off with Brent. I had limited space to build and wanted to make sure I could maximize use of the space. With an existing structure on one side and an easement on the other, they designed an 11' x 25' garage with 10' walls, aligned perfectly with my existing garage. Communication was excellent and Brent made sure I was informed of every step along the way. The project was delayed due to weather a couple times but when the trades were there working, they worked hard and were
