Cowgirl Construction is Lauren Sutherland's company. She started it in Calgary in 2011 and still runs every job herself, from the first walk-through to the last piece of trim. Here's what that means for your project.
Owner-operated, start to finish
At larger companies, a salesperson often quotes the job, a project manager runs it and crews you've never met do the work. At Cowgirl Construction, Lauren is the person you talk to, the person who measures and the person on the tools. That means fewer handoffs, fewer surprises and one person accountable for the result.
What we do
Our focus is finish carpentry and renovations around Calgary:
- Finishing carpentry and trim, baseboards and crown
- Custom built-ins and stairs and railings
- Bathrooms, basements and bonus rooms and flooring
- Renovations, rebuilds and small jobs
The Cowgirl Code
Four rules guide every job:
- Honest work. Clear quotes, straight answers and no upsell. If something doesn't need replacing, we'll tell you.
- Measure twice. Tight joints, level floors and clean caulk lines. The 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.

Why "woman-owned" matters to some clients
Some homeowners simply prefer to have a woman working in their home, whether they live alone, are home with young kids, or just want a different experience from a typical crew. Others like supporting a woman-owned local business. Whatever your reason, you'll get the same thing: careful work and straight answers.
