Mike Hood, the driving force behind Straightline Carpentry, brings a lifelong passion for construction and the great outdoors to every project. Originally from southeastern Manitoba, nestled in the rugged beauty of the Canadian Shield, Mike's love for nature was nurtured from an early age. He began his construction journey alongside his father, learning the trade as soon as he could walk.
In 2009, Mike made the inspiring move to the Kootenays, drawn by the majestic mountains and pristine snow, to pursue his dream of building homes that are both energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable. Here, he founded Straightline Carpentry, a company committed to creating bespoke homes that harmonize with the stunning landscapes of British Columbia.
When he's not shaping the future of homebuilding, Mike enjoys skiing and biking in the great outdoors with his family and friends, making the most of the Kootenays' natural playground. His dedication to eco-friendly practices and superior craftsmanship ensures that every home he builds not only meets but exceeds the highest standards of quality and sustainability.
At Straightline Carpentry, Mike Hood and his team are redefining modern living in the Kootenays, crafting custom homes that reflect both the client's vision and the unique natural beauty of the area. Join us in shaping a future where high-performance living meets environmental stewardship.
