Our Team

Justin Linden, President

Justin Linden is a skilled renovator who was introduced to the renovation and building trade by his Engineer father at a very young age. He attended Carleton University, where he earned a Bachelor of Commerce degree, and then went on to earn a Chartered Accountant designation. For decades, he worked as a financial manager in the real estate and high-tech industries, but quietly continued expanding his knowledge and skills in the renovation industry. During his free time, he pursued a technical education at Algonquin College, taking several construction and design-related courses as well as formal independent study through NKBA on Kitchen Design and NARI on residential remodelling and design. In 1981, he founded his first renovation company.

Justin's passion for innovation and design led him to the creation of Service Blocks Inc. Home Renovators in 2005, which quickly grew into a successful residential renovation business. In 2010, he refocused the company and changed the name to LindenCraft to target the growing demand for high- quality, designer kitchens, bathrooms and other interior residential spaces. His passion for his craft and insatiable love for learning has resulted in his constantly investigating new products, technologies and design models that benefit his clients. The result is a renovation and design experience that is unparallelled in artistic skill, innovative thinking and endless passion for the fine art of renovation.

Our Renovators

We pride ourselves on our skilled employees; they are the most talented renovators around. Our renovation teams are able to build your project from initial deconstruction to the final paint stroke. Unlike many other renovation contractors, our people are employees who work exclusively for us. This ensures a level of teamwork and efficiency that our customers have come to rely on. When required, we retain a select group of specialty firms to work on specific aspects of a renovation. These would include engineers, electricians, plumbers, solid surface counter suppliers, to name a few.

Timing is important in a renovation. Our solution is to assign a team exclusively to your project from start to finish. Since our team members are multi-skilled, they move easily from one phase of the project to another. It also gives comfort to home owners that the same people are working each day in their home throughout the project.

Materials We Use

We specify high quality materials for all of our renovation projects. In our experience, good quality does not always mean expensive, it just means good quality. We spend time researching trends and innovations in the industry and know what will work well for a particular space. We provide customers with an unbiased evaluation of the material choices available to them. This helps customers decide how to best invest their renovation budget.
