The Northern Son Code | Sault Ste. Marie Contractor Standards
Northern Son Home Renovation & General Contracting in Sault Ste. Marie operates under one standard: do it right. The Northern Son Code represents our commitment to structural integrity, precision workmanship, and honest construction practices across Northern Ontario. Whether we’re building decks, renovating bathrooms, lifting garages, or completing full home renovations, our standards never change.
Discover the legend of Son of the North – raised by wolves, forged in a blizzard, and building homes across Sault Ste. Marie.
The Blizzard Birth
Legend has it, one blizzardy night in the Far North, the jet stream lost its mind.
It collided with some rogue polar vortex, creating a swirling storm of pure Northern chaos.
Out of that blizzard emerged a baby—but not just any baby.
No, this was a diapered carpenter-in-training, with snowflakes in his hair and a tiny tool belt.

Naturally, this kid needed a family.
Enter the North’s A-Team: a polar bear (for strength), a seal (for waterproofing, obviously), a pack of northern timber wolves (for teamwork), and a random arctic fox (because every legend needs a sassy sidekick).
Together, they taught him everything needed to be a Northern Son Sault Ste. Marie contractor : the polar bear taught him to bench-press tree trunks, the wolves taught him how to frame a house as a pack,
and the seal… well, the seal mostly clapped when he nailed his first drywall sheet.
Building in Diapers
By the time he was out of diapers (though rumor has it he built his own crib out of reclaimed barn wood), he was already squaring decks and insulating igloos.
Snowstorms were his nap time lullabies.
He didn’t have a security blanket—he had a mini hammer.
What Son of the North Does Now
Fast-forward to today, and the Son of the North is the guy who shows up when your garage door is frozen shut—he doesn’t open it, he convinces it to open itself.
He’s not bothered by -40°C—he calls that “perfect framing weather.”
And if you ask him to square a deck, he’ll likely measure once and somehow the universe will just… align.
The Differences
Most measure twice.
Northern Son measures once… and the universe adjusts accordingly.
A tractor lifts beams.
Northern Son lifts garages and asks if there’s anything heavier.
Carpenter fixes crooked trim.
Son of the North North senses crooked trim in buildings he’s never entered.
The First Job
He showed up at the yard one morning.
No introduction.
Just parked between the trucks like he’d always been there.
The crew asked,
“Who’s the new guy?”
He replied:
“I’m here to assist.”
Then proceeded to:
• Square an entire deck by tapping it once
• Organize every fastener bin alphabetically
• Rewire a work light using pure intimidation
By lunch, Northern Son owner Hal agreed:
“Yeah… we’re keeping him.”
What Does The Son Of The North Actually Do?
Well, aside from occasionally glowing in the dark (kidding… mostly), Son of the North is the guy who shows up when things get tough:
-
Deck sagging? He’ll lift it—one-handed, while sipping coffee.
-
Drywall seams crooked? He’ll stare them straight.
-
Winter storms coming? He calls it “a refreshing breeze.”
He’s also known for his trademark “Son of the North equips,” which include gems like, “If it’s not level, I’m not leaving,” or “Sawdust? That’s just carpenter glitter.”
Why He’s Hilarious (And Kind of Terrifying)
Kids love him because he explains building projects like assembling snow forts—except these snow forts have perfect insulation.
Homeowners? Well, they’re in awe when he fixes their door frame, but a bit terrified when he casually asks if they’d like their roof “re-squared for fun.”
Weaknesses
• Cannot ignore crooked trim in public buildings
• Will reorganize your garage if left unattended
• Gets visibly uncomfortable when someone says, “That’s probably fine.”
Why He Works With You
Son of the North — the slightly radioactive embodiment of “We Own the North.”
Sometimes…
When a beam won’t budge.
When a garage needs lifting.
When winter hits sideways at -30.
You might notice Hal step away for a moment…
And Northern Son step forward.
Fun Facts:
He is 58% stronger than your dad.
22% more stubborn than your mom.
And 100% legally required to fix things he walks past.
Few People Know He Has
⚡ The ability to square a wall by glaring at it
⚡ Hands that automatically measure in 16” increments
⚡ And the power to tighten a loose hinge without tools
What He Stands For
Son of the North represents the standard we build to:
• Structural integrity
• Honest workmanship
• Clean finishes
• No shortcuts
• No excuses
Just solid work.
Every time.
The Takeaway
Out of the smoke emerged the Son of the North—part carpenter, part legend, part… slightly radioactive? No one’s sure. But he’s here now, hammer in hand, ready to turn “broken” into “beautiful” faster than you can say “measure twice.”
So, when you see Son of the North, don’t panic—he’s part of the Northern Son Sault Ste. Marie contractor team here to build, fix, and maybe crack a joke about frostbite.
He’s the reminder that up here, “From Broken to Beautiful” isn’t just a tagline—it’s a way of life.
With a side of laughter and maybe a wolf howl or two.
Now, who needs a polar bear to help frame that garage? Son of the North has you covered!
