Our story

15+ years of Calgary homes, done right.

Lauren Sutherland started Cowgirl Construction in 2011 with a truck, a mitre saw and a simple idea: treat every home like it's your own. More than a decade later, that's still how every job runs.

Lauren specializes in the work that makes a house feel finished — trim and carpentry, custom bathrooms, flooring, basement and bonus-room build-outs — along with full renovations, rebuilds and the small odd jobs other contractors won't call back about.

As owner-operator, Lauren quotes your project, plans it and is on site doing the work. No hand-offs, no mystery crews, just straight talk and square corners.

What we stand for

The Cowgirl Code.

Honest work

Clear quotes, straight answers and no upsell. If it doesn't need replacing, we'll tell you.

Measure twice

Tight joints, level floors and clean caulk lines. Details are the whole job.

Respect your home

Drop cloths, dust control and a tidy site at the end of every day.

Always in the loop

You'll know what's happening, what's next and when we'll be there.
