Our Past Work
At Canvasback Builders, every project tells a story of craftsmanship, durability, and respect for the rugged Upper Peninsula. From custom homes and home renovations to outdoor decks, porches, and commissioned furniture, our work reflects quality, precision, and attention to detail. We take pride in creating spaces that not only look great but stand up to the U.P.’s harsh winters and variable weather, built to last for generations.
​
Whether it’s a remodeled kitchen, a multi-level deck, a lakeside retreat, or a handcrafted piece of furniture, our past projects showcase the range and expertise of our team. Each one is a testament to our commitment to excellence, client satisfaction, and the lasting strength of northern craftsmanship.

01
The Shafthouse Remodel
From custom homes and renovations to decks, porches, and handcrafted furniture, our projects reflect rugged U.P. craftsmanship and attention to detail. Each space is built to last through harsh northern seasons while bringing our clients’ visions to life.
02
Nevermind Kitchen Remodel
At the Nevermind project, we overhauled the kitchen and master bath. We replaced the flooring with large format tile and tongue and groove pine. We installed new cabinets, appliances, fixtures and countertops. This home was lost in the 1980's until we brought up to modern standards!

The Miner
The Miner Vacation Rental in Hancock MI, was a former barbershop converted into the area's premier 2 bedroom vacation rental. This project involved every facet of the skilled trades and every square inch of the building was remodeled!
04
The Portage Centre
The Portage Centre is a luxury apartment in Hancock MI that the owners use as a short term vacation rental. The Portage Centre is a commercial building conversion. In its past life, it was home to a household glass repair and warehouse company.
