Meet the owner
Your job, run by Dezmond
Dezmond White was born and raised on Vancouver Island, and he built Island Strong on what people here expect from a contractor: show up when you say you will, be straight about what the job needs, and do it right.
When you call Island Strong, you deal with Dezmond, from the first site visit and the written quote to the final walk-through.
Built for the coast
Built for the coast.
Coast weather finds every gap. Rain, wind-driven water, salt air and moss go to work on roofs, siding, decks and foundations, and a lot of houses here were built long before anyone talked about rainscreen walls.
So every job we quote starts with one question: where does the water go? Then we price the work to keep it out.
- Flashing and rainscreen details on siding, window and door work
- Perimeter drains and grading checked before a basement gets finished
- Deck framing protected, not just new boards on old joists
- Pre-1990 house: asbestos testing built into the schedule before demolition
