I'm JP Gaudreau. When you call, I'm the person who answers, quotes the work, fabricates the metal, and installs it. There's no crew to hand you off to and no name on a truck you're paying extra for. Just me and the work.

I spent 15 years in residential HVAC in Quebec, much of it building custom solutions for multi-million-dollar homes around Montreal. That work has no room for shortcuts: the ductwork has to be quiet, balanced, and tucked into finished spaces where nothing is allowed to look like an afterthought. For the last 10 years I've been doing commercial HVAC and sheet metal in Vancouver, on job sites where the tolerances are tight and the schedule isn't forgiving.

Now I'm based in Squamish and I bring both sides of that experience to homes across the Sea to Sky corridor: the finish-level care of high-end residential work, and the discipline of commercial fabrication. I focus on residential sheet metal, ductwork, and ventilation: I make and install the ducting that supports heating, cooling, and exhaust systems, and I fix the routing and venting problems that older or poorly built homes tend to have. I don't sell the furnaces and heat pumps themselves. I do the metal that makes them actually work.

I'd rather do one job properly than three of them halfway. If something isn't right, I'll tell you straight, and if a job isn't a good fit for a one-person shop I'll say that too. What you get is work I'm willing to put my own name on, because, literally, I am.
