A little about us

Meet the True North Team

Our builders journey began with a love for carpentry and craftsmanship, so we bring that passion into every project that we take on. Our carpentry background has provided us with many lessons that we use to create quality craftsmanship in all of our work.

We would love to speak with you about your project.

The North Family

Proudly a Family Business

True North Builders started in 2018 with a passion for finish carpentry and a step of faith. Together, Sara and I decided to trust that God was leading the way, even without having everything figured out, and we feel incredibly blessed to see what the company has grown into today.

Our faith in Christ is the foundation of how we work and serve others. We believe the talents we’ve been given come with a responsibility to use them with integrity, purpose, and care.

As a small family business, we approach every project with intention and pride in our work. Our goal is simple: do excellent work, honor God in it, and serve people well.
