A contractor you can trust
“Finding a contractor of any kind in the Invermere Valley is a challenge, and finding a good one that you can trust is even harder. Look no further than Brainard Custom Contracting, who did a major renovation on our log cabin over the course of 14 continuous months.
My wife and I couldn’t be happier with Jason Brainard and his skilled crew, who are all very dependable. Their workmanship was second to none and they always put in the extra effort to make sure things were done right. From woodworking, new windows, roofing and general construction to electrical and plumbing work, Brainard does it all. They even took care of our concrete, landscaping and irrigation needs, so there’s no need to find other contractors to finish off your project. Major expenditures were always discussed and approved in advance, so there were no surprises and all billing was timely and fair.
As a result, I am very happy to recommend Brainard Custom Contracting with an enthusiastic rating of 5 out of 5 Stars.”
— Chuck Sawyer, Columere Park.
Best in the business
“Kari and Jason have been great to work with on the two projects we’ve now done with them on our property.
The attention to detail, quality finished product and consistent communication throughout our projects was the best in the business.
We would highly recommend and definitely go back to Brainard for any future renovation work!”
— Chelsea Fryer, Timber Ridge.

We had a 200 square foot dining room added to the house, as well as complete kitchen, boot room, renovation, flooring replaced throughout, new concrete exterior decks and new windows and 8 foot sliding door installed.
Jason and his team brought a high level of professionalism and quality craftsmanship to this project.

I am extremely pleased with the outcome on both projects. The house is 35 years old but is more comfortable and beautiful that it has ever been.
His workmanship is excellent and projects were completed in a timely manner. I would highly recommend this company for any renovation. ”

“Skilled carpenter and project manager, knowledgeable, and reliable.
Jason was very easy to work with. He listened to our ideas, provided suggestions based on his experience, and completed our stairway renovations and exterior wheelchair ramp on time and within budget.
Quality work. Again, Thank you very much!”
— Lori Horrocks & Andreas Ritsch, Edgewater.
“So happy to have extended our livable space!
We recently had our basement renovated and are delighted with the results. Jason’s team was professional, punctual and clearly skilled at their craft. Jason communicated throughout the project, offered suggestions when appropriate and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Our once unused basement is now a warm, functional space with two additional bedrooms, full bathroom and family room.
We highly recommend Brainard for anyone looking to transform their basement with quality workmanship and great service.”
— Mark & Joylyn Skoko, Columere Park.
