It’s dark down there! Renovating the basement stairs

The stairs in this old house needed some serious work. They were fire-damaged, rotting, and pretty unsafe. I reclaimed what I could and rebuilt them so they are much sturdier now. Here’s what I did.

Hi there. So glad to see you here.

If you’re interested in design, construction, renovation, or related topics, make yourself at home. That’s what this site’s all about.

I’ve been working in the building industry most of my life. From designing to contracting, renovations to custom builds, I’ve done it all. For the last two decades, I’ve also worked as a realtor, helping others envision their dreams.

If you can see past the scratched floors, multi-coloured rooms, and worn-out kitchens, you know there’s almost always a way to fix anything. And you’re probably already thinking about your next project.

Or maybe your shop is your happy place; where you spend your downtime. If being creative helps you unwind, you likely come up with new ideas all the time.

Whether you’re a creator, a builder, or a fixer, I hope you’ll find inspiration for your next project. And I’d like to help you find the tools you need to do the job, purchasing from vendors you already know and trust.

My goal is to provide some inspiration or help you figure out how to finish your next task.

Welcome to Total Concept Tools. If you need help finding anything, shoot me an email or head over to my contact page. I look forward to meeting you.
