Jacob Morgan, Founder and CEO

GROWING UP WITH A WOODWORKER AS A FATHER, I’VE ALWAYS HAD A PASSION FOR BUILDING BUT IT WASN’T UNTIL MY YEAR ABROAD THAT I FELL IN LOVE WITH CARPENTRY AS A CAREER. In 2011 I SPENT A MONTH ON A FARM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AUSTRALIAN BLUE MOUNTAINS CONVERTING A SMALL DOUBLE-DECKER BUS INTO A TINY HOME.

FROM THE MOMENT I LEFT THAT FARM I KNEW WHAT I WANTED TO DO FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

I COMPLETED A TWO-YEAR ALGONQUIN COLLEGE CARPENTRY DIPLOMA PROGRAM, FOLLOWED BY A THREE-YEAR APPRENTICESHIP, BEFORE RECEIVING MY RED SEAL CERTIFICATION. IN JANUARY 2017, I LAUNCHED MORGAN QUALITY HOMES AND AM CONSTANTLY AMAZED BY THE WONDERFUL, SUPPORTIVE CLIENTS I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING AND WORKING WITH.

I'M A SELF-DIAGNOSED WORKAHOLIC (ALSO TOLD TO ME BY ANYONE AND EVERYONE I'VE EVER MET) AND POUR MY HEART AND SOUL INTO EVERY PROJECT I TAKE ON. BUILDING OR RENOVATING CAN BE AN EXTREMELY STRESSFUL PROCESS AS A HOMEOWNER BUT I MAKE SURE TO TAKE AS MUCH OF THAT BURDEN AWAY FROM YOU as possible.

WITH more than 15 YEARS OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE, YOU CAN REST EASY KNOWING YOUR PROJECT IS IN GOOD, CALLUSED, HANDS.

Phil Paquette, Site Foreman

This photo sums up Phil perfectly: you’ll Always find him with a smile on his face, likely moving with purpose — even if that purpose is to give the team two thumbs up.

With Over 13 years of experience in the trades, we are lucky to have Phil's eye for detail, precision, and work ethic on our team.

You can always expect a spotless job site, good humour, and questionable taste in karaoke.

Chiara Germano, Red Seal Carpenter

Chiara joined us in 2021 with more than 2 years of experience in framing and has since completed her apprentiship and red seal licensing. She also holds a diploma in architecture.

Not only does she design and build, but she runs laps around the rest of us on all of the longest and most difficult labour days.

We are lucky to have Chiara on the team — she is an extremely fast learner; a motivated, conscientious worker; and keeps us millennials young and informed.
