ABOUT ME
I first wore a tool pouch at the age of 12. It was an old Beaver Lumber [cloth] nail apron that was full of holes. I cut up a clothes hanger and bent it into a holster for my little hammer. For some reason, I always wanted tools hanging off my waist. Some of you may remember Mr. Schneider on the TV series “One Day at a Time”? Well, that was me, and 48 years later… the hammer is still there hanging off my belt.
My father was a carpenter, and my grandfather was a cabinetmaker. And even though I am self-taught, you can see where this love comes from. And I also try to pour that love into every aspect of my work and every project I work on. For the most part, I now work alone. This gives me the security of knowing every piece of material is fashioned and installed by me.
Since moving to eQuinelle in Kemptville, I now specialize in my true passion…building maintenance free decks. You can find numerous photos, testimonials and project descriptions throughout my website, but be sure to visit my Facebook page also. I look forward to servicing your deck needs now, or in the near future.

Simply put, Murray MacLeod builds the best decks! We can see the evidence of this throughout our community. One only needs to play a couple rounds of golf and you begin to notice all of his wonderful decks. We feel blessed to be included in that group. From design to material selection, Murray walked us through our options and answered every question we had, providing us with solutions and designs that we would not have thought of ourselves. We would not hesitate to highly recommend MacLeod Carpentry for any of your decking needs.
