Whether you’re looking for interior finishing work or one-of-a-kind kitchen cabinetry, Weyburn’s Against The Grain Carpentry (ATG) has the expertise and creativity to transform any living space into a functional and beautiful environment.

Owned by Journeyman Carpenter, Grant Jensen, ATG is a local small business with a keen eye for detail in every aspect of their work. Against the Grain’s focus is finish carpentry including interior doors, trim, feature walls; custom millwork; cabinet, carpet and flooring installation —for both residential and commercial projects. “All of our custom millwork is built from scratch, stained and lacquered in our shop then installed by us,” says Grant.

Working with ATG starts with a consultation, where Grant’s wife, Eleesha, completes a design for the client. “A majority of clients have us complete a 3D model and a finish consultation,” he says. “We then price the project from demolition to completion. We prefer to order all the products and start the project when they arrive, and we take our time to ensure that everything is completed in the proper order.” Unlike HGTV where projects are completed seemingly overnight, Grant ensures that the work is completed in the right order with the right tradespeople.

You can source all project materials through ATG, and they will even recommend the best products and manufacturers for each individual project. No matter what type of project you’re completing, whether it’s a new build, an addition or a renovation, ATG can make your carpentry project come to life. “We truly care about the final result and want to ensure you will enjoy your space for years to come,” says Grant.

Grant is a Radville native and is proud to call Weyburn home. Grant and his wife Eleesha, owner at Jensen + Co, a local interior design firm, volunteer with several organizations and teams. “We both enjoy coaching our kids’ activities—minor hockey, minor baseball and lacrosse. Coaching is one of our favourite hobbies, especially hockey,” says Grant.
