About Us
With twenty years experience as a Journeyman Carpenter, I understand the importance of a strong frame and foundation. I believe in working with efficient and effective mechanical systems and top grade finished surfaces.
I have worked exclusively in the high-end custom home market for sixteen of my twenty-one years in the field and have established strong relationships with some of the areas finest trades and suppliers.
In addition to the relationships we build in Calgary, we are also committed to partnering to provide solid, secure, safe homes for families in great need who live in El Salvador. We were able to help build over 2,000 homes through the Shelter Canada organization.
I treat every home I build as if it were my own, and to build lasting relationships through every project defines true success for me. I pride myself on quality workmanship, timeless style, and a solid work ethic - these qualities are reflected in the satisfaction of my clients. I offer my clients a partnership where my time and expertise is exclusively theirs.

Jake and his team of designers, tradesmen and suppliers took over our acreage home construction project. Jake took this project from a walking disaster to an incredible country home. The workmanship and attention to detail is first class and is not easy to find in today's construction industry. Jake was onsite daily and occasionally grabbed the tools himself. In the end we received a superior product which was the direct result of Porch Lamp Homes team of dedicated professional people. If your looking for a trusted builder who backs up and does what he says then Porch Lamp Fine Homes is the ONLY CHOICE.

I hired Jake to complete the build of my new home. He was able to trouble shoot out all of the issues we had faced and completed our product within our deadline. Timing was excellent. The support he offered was above what what would be considered normal. It was excellent Porch Light Fine Homes is a company I would recommend without hesitation. Honest and hard working with a real passion for a very high standard finished project.

Comment from Porch Lamp Fine Homes:
Again, it was my pleasure to serve you and your family. It was a challenging job that had less than ideal beginnings for you with the previous builders lack of attention but you both were such champs through it all. Very proud and honoured by your kind words. Thanks you!

Jake is honest and hard working. He goes above and beyond in customer service and shows his passion for his job every day. Jake has an amazing attention to detail, something as a homeowner I really appreciated. The process of building a new home can be quite stressful and Jake alleviated much of this stress by his calm and productive conduct. He was on site daily to oversee all the trades and his trades provided excellent work and service. I would highly recommend Jake and Porch Light Fine Homes to anyone who is wanting to build or has a project that you would need a home builders advice or services

I'd like to start by saying you're not saving money by trying to manage a reno project on your own. Trust me I tried. I started with the exterior, roof, siding, windows and doors. We called Jake because the quotes we were receiving appeared to be high. They were.
Upon hiring Porch Light with Jake's leadership he saved us 20K on the exterior alone. Jake sat with us and we made up a plan based on our wants and needs, he hosted a trades day and off we went.
Jake and the trades he uses are exemplary professionals. Almost every inch of our home was replaced and redesigned and we couldn't be happier. Not to mention we were back in the house on the date Jake promised. On time and on budget isn't something you hear regularly when it comes to construction, but here we are.
We wouldn't hesitate to strongly recommend Porch Light and Jake to bring you your dream home. If you would like to see his work first hand contact Jake, we'd be happy to have you over to have a look.

I've had the pleasure of working with Jake and Porch Light Fine Homes since 2013. I'm not sure I've come across anyone more dedicated to his clients than Jake. Quite often sacrificing his own profits for the good of the client.
Just a high integrity guy and a top notch company.

I am a house designer and over the years have had the privilege of working with many home builders. In my opinion, Porch Light Fine Homes ranks up amongst the top contenders. The projects that I have been involved in with Porch Light have ran smoothly and the final results have been excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend Porch Light Fine Homes as the builder for any of my projects.

I have known Jake for many years and can truly say I know no one who cares more about his quality and reputation than Jake. He has compiled a team of trades that is second to none and produces a product that satisfies the most discerning eye. Working for Porch Light means an organized job site, and very high expectations on both quality and timeline. If you are thinking of building, look no further.

The work was top shelf and attention to detail excellent. Deficiencies were minimal, due to sub-trades and taken care of quickly to great satisfaction. Not only is the builder highly skilled but highly ethical and ensures all aspects of the project are timely and done right.
I have no reservations recommending Porch Light Fine Homes for any custom home building project!

As a tradesman, I have worked with many home builders over the past 27 years. It's very rare to find one that sincerely cares about quality as much as Jake of Porchlight Fine Homes. From the footings to the finishing details of any project I've seen his attention to detail is second to none. I highly recommend Porchlight for any size project.

Porch Light Fine Homes should be your go-to contractor for any renovation. We looked for contractors and asked three questions: Do they do good work? Can we trust them? and, Are they fairly priced? Porch Light was an unequivocal yes to all three (and we are very thorough people). The only one, I might add, out of six different (prominent) contractors we contacted that made us feel comfortable in answering all three of those questions. They were courteous, knowledgable, attentive to our needs and the details of the project, timely, and respectful of our space and our family. They have a great team of well-experienced, mature experts in every facet of the renovation, and each one of those team members added value to the project in their own way. They were upfront about pricing, upfront about what did and did not need to be done, and transparent on how the project was progressing. They made great choices and recommendations and we trusted their judgement completely. We couldn't be happier with our basement (a full build-out from nothing but a concrete floor), and the compliments we get on it are incredible. We've considered moving to the basement full-time, as it puts the workmanship and finish of the rest of our house (which was already fantastic) to shame. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Porch Light Fine Homes for even the largest of renovations, as I can't imagine our experience being improved upon, and especially not by one of the larger, more well-known names, for whom our project would have been an after-thought. Many thanks to the Porch Light team for their care and attention in making our house a home.

We at Crucial Connections Plumbing and Heating are a small and personal company and have been working with Jake Fluker and Porch light fine Homes for quite a few years now. We have had the opportunity to build up fantastic relationships with himself, him man power, the other trades that he hires and his customers. It has been an absolute pleasure to get to now Jake and work with him. The fact that he treats everyone involved with the utmost respect makes it a pleasure and an actual enjoyment to take part in the projects he puts together. As well, with the attention to details he puts forth, it makes it easy to see why his finished projects are appreciated by all his(our) customers.
Sincerely,

We hired Porch Light Fine Homes to renovate our basement 2 years ago. It included a complete demolition and then the full development of 2 bedrooms, a den, full bathroom, living room, and storage room.
Being our request was for "just a basement", I was concerned that we would get the leftovers of the tradespeople, the leftovers of the general contractor's time, and that our details would be forgotten. This was not the case.
We have four curious kids running around the upper levels of the house while the tradesmen came in and out yet they ALL were courteous, polite, and kind. Being two years later, I can also comment that the work was well-done and we are still extremely pleased with how the basement turned out.
I can say with honesty that EVERY detail we discussed with the Jake, the owner of Porch Light Fine Homes, was implemented and we didn't have to nag or remind him for it to happen.
Jake came by every couple days to check on the progress of things and he would also call to give us updates on who would be coming by and what was expected of us as home owners.
The few details that we especially love about our basement we can credit to being Jake's ideas. He has an eye for details and can understand what your overall hope is for a space and then he gave us a few ideas on how to make it that much better.
I've walked through other homes Porch Light has built and I've been SO impressed with the quality and professional look create. When we decide to reno more of our house or build a new one, they will be receiving our business again!
