A LITTLE ABOUT ME

I’m Gerald — custom cabinetry and millwork designer, and House Confident founder.

I’ve spent over 40 years in Vancouver’s high-end residential construction industry — which means I’ve seen every homeowner horror story and success story in the book. (You can check out Van Arbour, my design shop, here.)

I founded House Confident to share my decades of hands-on knowledge with homeowners, so you can successfully lead your project and manage your investment in your home.
