ABOUT OUR CONSTRUCTION COMPANY
SERVICES PROVIDED
We are a renovation company that specialize in all things tile. From a quick bathtub surround to complex tile installs, we can do it all. We have a good group of trusted tradesmen to help accomplish renovation perfection. We can help bring anyone’s vision become reality.
A quick list of services includes proper job preparation for levelling, waterproofing, installation. We work with any type of tile - glass mosaic, natural stones, large format porcelain tiles. Installation of tile onto either interior spaces ( ie - floors, shower surrounds, backsplashes, fireplace or feature walls ) or exterior spaces ( ie - patios, stairways, fountains or walls ). We always waterproof any wet space installations. We can help in the creative process of your project or we can follow another’s design to perfection. We can handle any of the other factors in the renovation process, we always use proper certified trades for things such as plumbing or electrical work.
We understand the importance of choosing the right company that’s experienced, dependable, and affordable. We know that your upgrade to your home will have impact to your daily life as it progresses and we will do our best to minimize the impact. We will treat your home with the respect we would expect in our own homes. Our tile work is some of the best around, and it’s because we care to do our best. This attitude is maintained in all aspects through the duration of your project.
I have two amazing sons, both are now enrolled in school and growing far too quickly. They are my whole world, but don’t worry, you’ll get my best attention too. I’m a single dad - my children are my greatest legacy and I am a very active parent in their lives. When I’m not building for you, I’ll be at home creating LEGO mega structures or race tracks. I bring 20+ years of experience in the construction and tile setting industries, and have lived in the GVRD my entire life.
At James Oddstad Contracting, all of our products meet the strictest standards of safety and quality. We refuse to sell low quality materials to any of our clients. Years of working at James Oddstad Contracting has taught us that a big part of building a strong foundation is choosing adequate products to work with. More importantly, we’re invested in keeping our clients safe through sturdy construction that will last a lifetime.
We can build your dream - from a simple updated tile surround to a complete renovation of the space. We always use appropriate membranes, sealers, and waterproofing products. Custom single slope shower pan? Curbless shower entry? New tub and tile? Nice cozy heated tile floor? New vanity and a backsplash? Let us know what you need, and we’ll make it happen.
Kitchen renovations are one of the best investments to your property. It’s the place where so much of family time is spent, it's the heart of your home. Time to update the kitchen completely? New heated tile or hardwood floors? New countertops and a fancy new backsplash? We can help! A backsplash is a fun space to invest in an incredible tile - the square footage isn’t generally large so you can go for that amazing feature wall effect .
I love a good mosaic install - from a simple detail strip in a shower to a complete mosaic installation, this is where I thrive. We take our time to do the best preparation - back lathing the install, proper mudding of the wall to achieve a perfectly level and mirror finish installation. Paper thin glass? Marble? Any type from ceramic to stainless steel, we can do it all. A tile install only ever looks as good as its smallest imperfection, so we take the time to ensure the project has none.
Another avenue where we shine - there is no excuse for imperfect floors. We can deliver on any need. Installation of heat cables? Floor levelling? Porcelain tile of any size? Natural stones, marbles, and slates? We will set you that perfect floor. We always use proper products to best achieve that flat level finish. We always recommend membranes and will recommend the ones best suited for your installation.
A simple covered deck to an exposed set of entry steps, we can do it all. We always use the right materials to ensure no failure of tile install or efflorescence issues. We will always build with appropriate slopes to provide proper water drainage to ensure product longevity. There are many innovations in exterior deck waterproofing - we are up to speed and certified to install the right products into the right spaces to have no future issues.
Not all tile jobs need to be torn out - sometimes they just need a good revitalization. Bath tub looking a little gross? Caulking looking old? Grout needing some repairs? Been years since the tiles were last sealed?  This is a section of the market place where it can be difficult to engage the services of a tile setter. I personally quite enjoy saving beautiful existing tiles that just don't seem to look clean to looking brand new again. I have a great knowledge of cleaning products and strategies to rejuvenate any type of tile work, interior or exterior.
