This week Luke Dresar from Centre Dufferin District High School (CDDHS) shares a little bit about his experience and how Twin Construction is contributing to our community’s future.

Twin Construction has been in business for 28 years, and they started in 1993.  Their work focuses on carpentry and building/renovation of custom homes, but they also do all aspects of constructing a home, from top to bottom. They also help manage properties for clients. Daniel Dresar and Jonathan Dresar are the owners of Twin Construction.

For my time working here, I have had the job title of Carpenter’s Assistant. I have been helping with installing hardwood floors and making sure everything is organized and clean. I will be soon learning how to lay down tile and the process of installing it. The equipment I have used is Mitre saw, table saw, finishing saw, nail guns, and jackhammer. 

I have learned about all the safety equipment needed to operate the tools and the proper way to use them, as well as the PPE needed to work safely (knee pads, safety goggles, ear plugs and gloves).

There are some careers that I have noticed are related to carpentry. One of these careers is Drywallers. 

They come in and install all the drywall and I have been made aware of how much work goes into installing the drywall properly. Another career is Electrician, and I noticed there is a lot of wiring that runs through homes. Another career is Tile Installers, who have had to do a bathroom that had tile on floors and the walls. The last career I noticed was the Cabinet Installers, and how much work goes into making them and all the cuts they have to make. It is cool seeing the progress from start to finish of the cabinets.

While working with Twin Construction, I have noticed how much work goes into carpentry and the other careers associated with it.

I look forward to continuing to work with them.
