About

Built on trust. More than twenty years in the trades.

DE Custom Trades Ltd. is led by Drew and delivered by a hand-picked team of trades who have worked together for years. The details get done the way they were promised.

Meet Drew

A sharp eye for detail, and a habit of seeing what you need before you do.

Drew started in the trades more than twenty years ago and built DE Custom Trades Ltd. around the two things clients say they cannot find: straight communication and honesty about what a job will really take. He reads a space quickly, anticipates the decisions you have not made yet, and says the hard things early. That is what earns the trust, and it is the standard the whole team is held to.

Home base is Halton Region. The crew works across Oakville, Burlington, Milton, Halton Hills, Mississauga, Brampton, Caledon, Cambridge, Guelph and the GTA, with a network of electricians, plumbers and specialty trades Drew has vetted over years, not weeks.
