Our
Custom Cedar
Services
Western Red Cedar is the natural choice for Vancouver Island homes. It naturally resists rot, insects, and moisture, making it ideal for our damp coastal climate. J Plus Contracting designs and builds custom cedar structures throughout Lake Cowichan, Duncan, and the Cowichan Valley, combining functional durability with clean, modern woodwork.
We source high-grade British Columbia cedar to create outdoor spaces and architectural accents that age gracefully. From difficult hillside builds to waterfront properties, we use proper ground clearance, stainless or coated hardware, and proven framing techniques to prevent water trapping and premature wood rot.
Our custom cedar carpentry includes:
- Timber Decks & Outdoor Living: Multi-level cedar decks, covered porches, and outdoor entertaining areas built with solid framing and clean board layouts.
- Pergolas, Gazebos & Arbours: Custom timber shade structures, timber-frame entryways, and garden features anchored securely for Island wind and rain.
- Lake-Access Stairs & Boardwalks: Heavy-duty outdoor wooden stairs, walkways, and landings engineered for steep terrain, lake access, and wet ground.
- Privacy Screens & Louvres: Modern horizontal slat screens and decorative dividers to create private, sheltered outdoor zones.
- Exterior Cedar Siding & Accents: Bevel, shiplap, and tongue-and-groove cedar siding, soffits, and architectural timber details for new builds and renovations.
Every custom cedar project begins with an on-site consultation to review your property layout, moisture exposure, and design preferences. We build practical, weather-tough woodwork meant to last for years to come.
