Meet Brad
Hi, I'm Brad. Tell me what you're working on.
I'm Brad Cornell, the owner of True North Home and Yard here in Medicine Hat. I know a home improvement project starts with questions: what is worth fixing, what can wait, and how do we make the space work better without overcomplicating things?
That's why I like to begin with a conversation and a few photos. We'll look at your goals, talk through options and put together a clear scope before scheduling any work. From small repairs and fresh finishes to accessible entrances and outdoor builds, you're welcome to call me directly.

Quick answers
What homeowners usually want to know first.
What areas do you serve?
True North Home & Yard serves Medicine Hat and surrounding communities in southeastern Alberta.
Can I send photos to get the quote started?
Yes. Attach up to three JPG, PNG or WebP photos to the quote form, or text them to 403-888-0805. A short description and approximate measurements help us understand the project.
What types of work do you take on?
Interior renovations, painting, drywall repair, flooring, trim and garage improvements, plus decks, fences, exterior finishing, drainage, pavers and outdoor living projects.
Do you do lawn mowing or routine yard maintenance?
No. True North focuses on building, repairing and improving properties. We do project-based landscape construction and transformations, not routine mowing, trimming or yard-cleanup services.
Do you take smaller interior repair jobs in winter?
Yes, please tell us what needs fixing. Painting, drywall patching, trim work and room refreshes are all worth asking about. Scope and scheduling depend on the details.
Can you help with a wheelchair ramp or doorway change?
We can discuss ramps, landings, accessible entrances and doorway modifications. The right design depends on the building, the person using the space, applicable requirements and any occupational therapist recommendations.
