History/Background

Owner Chris Teahen, began Teahen Construction Ltd. in 1994 in a small back yard shed of his childhood home in Stratford Ontario, under the name of ‘Teahen Carpentry and Woodworking’. Though his beginnings were modest, his passion for quality and ‘standing out’ for this attribute was strong even at this young age. Chris went on to found "Tymber Tykes" making childrens picnic tables and the like for local schools. Later, he continued to do this as a donation to local schools and not as part of his paid work.
From the onset, customers gave unsolicited testimonial commendation both on the quality of work and his commitment to their job as if they “were his only priority”. Most importantly, the feedback was strong on the quality of the people working for the Teahen team. These types of verbatim statements continue to come in to this day. An outstanding customer experience remains a constant.

By 2000, Chris changed the name of the business to Teahen Construction Ltd. after continued growth of the team, customer base and specialized project requests. In 2007, he added Teahen Plumbing to the team, allowing the concept of ‘team’ to come to life through exemplary communication.  Seamless end to end project management, further competitive costing for customers and “big picture” quality remains paramount. In 2012, Teahen Construction Ltd welcomed even more diversity to their team to help with completing any project. They understand it can be overwhelming when faced with so many choices and now have a team to help ensure a smooth and positive experience was possible.
