ALL HANDS ON DECK
— Cont'd from page 49
"I started snow clearing, lawn
maintenance and light landscaping,"
says Mel, who founded the business with
his wife, Judy, more than 35 years ago.
"I was building wooden fences and
decks, and people would ask me why
they needed so much maintenance. So I
started going towards maintenance-free
and we never looked back."
Now 67, Mel has seen the business grow
and achieve major success with his sons
Brandon and Jordan on board as project
managers.
In fact, Windeck recently won two North
American Deck and Railing Association
industry awards, in the Alternative Decks
over-$100,000 category. It won second place
for a project in the Whiteshell and third place
for a deluxe deck built in North Kildonan.
"A company from New Jersey won first
place, so this means that we were the best in
Canada," Mel says. "That was a real dream
come true. It means we've proven ourselves
in the decking industry — I hope that doesn't
come off sounding too cocky. It's quite an
honour."
