An experienced island carpenter handling everything from full home renovations to custom finishing, decks, fences and new builds — honest work, tidy sites, and joinery that holds up to coastal weather.
One carpenter, one point of contact — no chasing subtrades or surprise crews on your property.
Kitchens, baths and whole-home remodels — reworked layouts, new everything, finished clean.
Built-ins, cabinetry, trim, stairs and feature walls cut and fit to your space.
Decks, fences, pergolas and covers built for the wet coast and made to last.
Additions, garages, studios and framing — square, solid and to code.
Repairs, rot remediation, framing and the small jobs other crews won't take.
Plume Contracting is run by Alex Bonnetplume, a Nanaimo-based carpenter serving all of Vancouver Island. You deal directly with me from quote to final walk-through — no call centre, no rotating crews. I take on a handful of projects at a time so each one gets proper attention.
“Reframed and finished our basement suite start to finish. Showed up when he said, kept it spotless, and the trim work is genuinely beautiful. Couldn't recommend Alex more.”
“Built us a cedar deck and privacy fence that have shrugged off two coastal winters. Fair quote, no surprises, and he actually answers his phone.”
“Full kitchen reno including custom built-ins. The cabinetry is better than anything we were quoted at the big shops. Tidy, honest and a real craftsman.”
