Over the past 12 years, Neil Whittred and his team have completed more than 300 local projects, building a reputation grounded in quality, professionalism, and client satisfaction. Neil, who has spent nearly four decades in construction, brings a passion for building that started in his childhood in a small village in England. “I got into woodwork pretty early,” he recalls. “I’d make bird boxes and all sorts of little projects at home.

This combination of early curiosity, formal training, and years of hands-on experience shapes how Neil approaches each project at Smith & Sons— ensuring that craftsmanship, attention to detail, and practical solutions remain at the forefront. Drawing on this expertise, Smith & Sons handles a wide range of residential projects, from singlebathroom upgrades to multi-million-dollar home renovations.
