Summerhill's Commitment.

 

Brad Jennens is a long-time resident of the Sunshine Coast, BC. He and the Summerhill team are known for building custom homes of unparalleled quality and craftsmanship. Summerhill Fine Homes has vast experience working closely with local and off-Coast talent in trades, design and architecture, leading the way using LEED certified building practices. Summerhill Fine Homes has the right combination of skilled people who build only the highest quality homes and products. We enjoy what we do, and it shows in all of the homes and projects we build.

 
 



“We have worked with Brad for almost 18 months on the construction of our home in Gibsons. Throughout the project, Brad was calm and rose to the challenge. We are just thrilled with the result and would have no hesitation in hiring Summerhill as contractor/builder again on another project.”
— Anne and Rainer

Talented. Smart. Dedicated. Fun to work with.

Born and raised in B.C., Brad came to the Coast in 1979 by way of Kelowna. Spending the majority of his formative years within the community he has chosen to work in, Brad has a keen sense of what it takes to compliment an already beautiful environment.

Striking out on his own, he built his first spec home and formed Summerhill Investments in 1991, before becoming a Red Seal ticketed carpenter in 1995. Summerhill is a forerunner in the building community on the Sunshine Coast with three certified Passive House tradespeople on staff and a member of the Canadian Green Building Council, focusing on sustainability, architecture and performance.  

Perhaps Brad’s tenacity comes from his time in the boxing ring or from the many challenges he faced while fulfilling a lifelong dream of sailing the Pacific with his wife and 3 children from 2006-2008. Never one to shy away from a challenge, Brad rises to the occasion and subtlety guides his team to achieve their best.  A leader who is as happy to listen as he is to take the helm.

Since receiving a Bachelor of Political Science from McGill University in 1992, Dean has spent his working life leading and organizing groups in a variety of industries. Dean played an important role with the DFO in the late 90s, leading crews, and was a key part in the success of remote location fish counts. Dean’s construction career began as a youngster but took off on a professional level when he began building homes on the Coast in the late 90’s. For the past decade Dean has been taking the lead on a vast number of complex custom home projects that have earned him respect and credibility from the Summerhill team and the building industry on the Sunshine Coast as a whole. Dean’s ability to motivate others by example is undeniable and he is repeatedly recognized by project stakeholders as being instrumental in any build he is part of. Although Dean’s building accomplishments are considerable, it is his family that he points to when asked what he is most proud of. Watching Dean with his wife and 4 children as they surf, bike ride or ski together, you can see why.
