Our Founders
Luke & Jess Belfry
Luke is the heart and soul behind Belfry Custom Carpentry. From a young age, Luke’s passion for carpentry was undeniable. Trained as a licensed carpenter by the age of 21, he quickly immersed himself in the construction world, honing his skills and mastering his craft.
Luke’s journey led him and his partner, Jess, to Calgary, AB, where Luke worked for a luxury home builder. It was here that he gained a comprehensive understanding of every aspect of the trade, from intricate woodworking techniques to project management.
After gaining valuable experience, Luke and Jess made the decision to return to their hometown of Peterborough, ON, to embark on a new chapter of their lives. They got married, purchased their first home, and laid the foundation for what would become Belfry Custom Carpentry Inc. They built their business from the ground up, fueled by their shared vision of providing unparalleled craftsmanship and exceptional service to their community.
Luke’s dedication to his craft and his community has not gone unnoticed. He was honored to be nominated for the Premier’s Award with Colleges Ontario, a testament to his outstanding contributions to the industry.
Community
Luke believes in the importance of giving back to the community that has supported him throughout his journey. We proudly support local businesses and children’s sports teams, including the AAA Petes, Peterborough Minor Lakers, and Lakefield Chiefs.
Luke and Jess are committed to philanthropic endeavors, sponsoring organizations such as the United Way, Alzheimer Association, Sick Kids Foundation, and Carl Oake Rotary.
