About

Since 1989, Dennis and Jennifer have run a successful renovation company dedicated to quality craftsmanship to beautify Winnipeg’s homes.

From that first incorporation of Dennis’ Odd Jobs Ltd., D.O.J. Construction has completed a wide array of projects ranging from small bathroom remodels to whole house renovations and additions. Their skill set is wide and diverse allowing them to collaborate with other companies on many large projects including the WAG, Manitoba Legislative Building, Red River College and University of Winnipeg.

At various times throughout the years, Dennis and Jennifer have employed their 3 children, two of which have moved on to pursue other career paths.

Dennis has worked in the construction industry since 1979, honing his craft with foundation renovations, property maintenance and custom-built homes. Both Jennifer and Dennis served in the Canadian military communications reserves, Dennis as a Lineman and Jennifer as a Radio Operator and then in Administration.
