Spencer Construction is a Winnipeg based company offering a variety of carpentry and construction management services — framing, concrete, roofing, and general contracting from start to finish.
Bring your plans or sketches. Whether it’s an addition, a new build, a roof restructure, or a concrete job, Spencer will take apart what’s there and move, add, or change it to how you like.
Four services, exactly as Spencer describes them on the current site — no packages, no invented pricing. Every job starts with a free estimate.
Plans or sketches you provide are the starting point — an addition, a new build, or a change to what’s already there.
Spencer looks at the job and gives you a free estimate. For roofing, that includes coming to measure and walking through products and samples.
The crew self-performs the carpentry — framing, roofing, and concrete — rather than handing your job off and walking away.
When a job needs expertise or trades Spencer doesn’t keep in-house, a wide range of industry connections fills the gap, start to finish.
Descriptions below are from Spencer Construction’s own project history. Photos are illustrative of the type of work, except where noted as Spencer’s own photo.
The owner of this 2,400 square foot bungalow wanted the hands-on approach, but didn’t have the time and expertise required to frame a home. Spencer Construction took on the framing portion on an hourly basis, with assistance from the homeowner and his family.
This old farmhouse had only woodchip insulation and no vapour barrier — warm pockets on one side, cold on the other, and doors that shuttered in the wind. Spencer removed the old roof and insulation, installed new polyurethane spray foam, and built up the roof structure for new overhangs and proper air circulation, eliminating ice damming.
This client required a new 90-foot truck scale. The design incorporated piles with cast-in-place pile caps on top. Spencer built abutment walls at either end of the scale and poured 12-foot structural approach slabs.
Our client from Red Lake had already completed the steel frame and concrete for this 4,000 square foot home. Spencer’s scope included the install of the trusses and metal roof cladding.
This photo is from Spencer Construction’s own site — the crew finishing a set of poured concrete front steps. It’s the hands-on side of the concrete work: forming, pouring, and finishing it themselves.
Spencer’s carpenters and finishers have experience on large commercial concrete structures as well as residential work. If you’ve got plans or even just a sketch, that’s enough to start.
The design and build of a new 1,372 square foot house, built on speculation in 2004. Andrew performed the framing, roofing, installation of windows & doors, hardwood flooring, ceramic tiling, painting, and finishing carpentry, and assisted subcontractors with the electrical and plumbing.
The majority of the concrete work was subcontracted, with the exception of the forming of the front steps. The project was a huge success — it sold before completion.
“I wish we’d have had you build our house.”
Word-for-word from Spencer Construction’s testimonials page — short, plain, and from the job site.
When we decided to purchase our home, we knew that building a garage was a must. Spencer Construction worked closely with us to make sure our needs were met and the project was completed on time and on budget. We are happy to have the frost off our windshields and we will definitely be using Spencer Construction this spring when we renovate our bathroom.
I wish we’d have had you build our house.
You did a really nice job.
I’ve known guys that have been doing this for a lot of years that don’t do nearly as nice a job.
I haven’t seen a roof done this well in a while.
Thanks for the good work.
I like what you’ve done with the place.
Spencer Construction is a Winnipeg based company offering carpentry and construction management. The approach is hands-on: self-performing the majority of the carpentry work — framing, roofing, and concrete — so quality and cost stay under direct control.
Roofing has always been a big part of the business, with 15+ years in it — and the work goes well beyond shingles, into restructuring, reinsulating, additions, metal roofing, cedar shakes, and low slope applications.
For concrete, the focus is ICF walls and grade beams, with slab work and wood forming taken on when the need arises — for both large commercial structures and residential jobs.
