51 North Contracting did an amazing job building our carriage house. Philip and his team were professional and knowledgeable. His attention to detail was meticulous. He was engaged and helpful throughout the whole process from start to finish. He cares about his clients and his work and the results are a beautiful product and very happy owners. He constantly said he wanted us to be happy and we are. He’s a breath of fresh air for clients looking for a contractor in the bow valley. Our project was finished ahead of schedule and on budget. We are truly grateful we had the chance to work with Philip.

After a devastating fire which consumed our home we had to find a building contractor. Thankfully, one of
the bidders was Philip Tarchuk, owner and operator of 51 North Contracting in Banff.
Philip and his family have a long history in the Bow Valley, which comes with a wealth of knowledge and
experience. My wife and I love our new home and very much recommend 51 North to anyone who needs
timely and professional construction or renovation work done.
