How I got here
I'm Kenton Willems. I have been in carpentry since 2003, and River Meadow Woodwork has been my business since 2007. I started in finish carpentry and moved into interior stair railings.
Trim work came along with the railings, since both are finish carpentry.
I work alone. When you call or text, you reach me.
In a larger shop the person who quotes is often not the person who installs. With me they are the same, so nothing gets lost between the quote and your stairs.
My training
Joinery
Allan Wood
The old-school English joiner who trained me.
Furniture
Paul Sellers and Frank Strazza
I took advanced furniture-making courses with both. Both were commissioned for the White House Permanent Collection.
Pennsylvania
J. D. Lohr
I trained with him as well. He is based in Pennsylvania.
Today
Built-ins and furniture, too
That background is why built-ins and furniture sit alongside railings in the work I take on.
What working with me looks like
Here is what you can count on, from the first message to the last day on site.
- A reply to your photos the same working day
- A site visit from me, not from a salesperson
- A formal quote before any work is booked
- A clean-up at the end of the job
- Licensed business

If anything about your project is unclear, ask me. I would rather answer a question early than fix a misunderstanding later.
Have a project in mind?
Photos of the space are enough for me to give you a free rough estimate.
Who I work for
- Single detached houses
- Calgary and the towns around it
Where I work: Calgary, Okotoks, Airdrie, Chestermere, Langdon.
You are a good fit if your railing looks tired or does not feel safe, or if you want trim or a built-in done properly in a single detached house.
Not sure which service you need? Start with stair railings, trim work or built-ins and furniture.
