Modern design. Inspired by nature. Built UP Strong.
About Us
Professional, Dependable, Licensed & Insured
In the UP, building isn’t just about putting up walls—it’s about creating spaces that can stand up to the seasons, the weather, and the test of time. At Canvasback Builders, we take pride in renovating homes and crafting outdoor spaces that are as strong and dependable as the people who live here.
​
Inspired by the canvasback duck—known for its strength, resilience, and precision—we carry those same qualities into every project. Whether it’s a new home, a remodel, or a deck built to weather years of snow and sun, our work reflects the rugged spirit of the U.P.
What We Do:​
-
Renovations & Remodels – Breathing new life into cabins, camps, and family homes.
-
Additions & Expansions – Creating more space while staying true to your home’s story.
-
Outdoor Projects – From sturdy decks to porches and siding, we build with the elements in mind.
Our Approach:
​
Around here, shortcuts don’t cut it. We believe in straight talk, honest work, and craftsmanship that holds up when it matters most. Every project starts with listening—understanding your vision, your needs, and your lifestyle—and ends with a space you can rely on for generations.
Built in the U.P., for the U.P:
​
The Upper Peninsula isn’t just where we work—it’s who we are. The forests, lakes, and long winters have shaped the way we build: with durability, resourcefulness, and a respect for nature. Our projects aren’t about flash—they’re about function, beauty, and strength that last through the toughest conditions.
