I cannot recommend Sprucehill enough. What I really appreciated was the program they used to keep us in the loop about where we were in terms of cost and time frame. Darrin was fantastic to work with. People are always complimenting the work done on our house. These guys are fantastic and do high quality work!

We recently completed a new kitchen millwork package for Sprucehill Contracting. As the millwork is such a key part of a lot of home renovation projects, the communication between the contractor and millworker is key. Right from the beginning, the team at Sprucehill provided us with great design drawings, clear direction, and and a well thought out process to success. One thing that gets missed on a lot of projects by contractors is providing us the space and the time to do our job properly. The Sprucehill project management team built a schedule that accommodated our work, as well as provided

I've used Sprucehill for two projects, one major (complete home renovation) and one minor (build a backyard office).
Sprucehill does high quality work and pays attention to details. I never worry that they will do a sub-par job. They're well-organized and well-led, which isn't my expectation of this industry. This is what differentiates Sprucehill.
Erik shows real ownership. He conducts occasional health checks just to make sure I am satisfied with the ongoing work. When I've had issues come up, they commit to resolving them quickly, and they deliver on their commitments. I don't hesitate at

I hired Erik Jensen and his team at Sprucehill Contracting to build a custom home to replace the home I grew up in. They were really sensitive to the nostalgic aspect of this project, which made us feel heard and cared about. Construction began in July of 2014 and we moved in September of 2015. The quality of the work that Sprucehill's team and trades did was excellent. Everyone they work with was very professional and seemed to really care about the quality of their work. One of the things we liked the most about working with Sprucehill was our weekly budget reports. We always felt like we were

Ive worked with Sprucehill during my career as a Project Manager with Ethical Flooring for many years. Erik, Darin, Liz, Nicole and Iman are all professional, knowledgeable in their fields, have a great attention for detail and are great communicators. Their projects run smoothly, on time and their other sub-trades are easy to work with as well. Its a pleasure working on projects with them!
