Meet the Heart Behind Canard Designs - Roger Lariviere
Bringing Craftsmanship & Passion to Every Project
At Canard Designs LLC, woodworking isn’t just a business—it’s a legacy of craftsmanship, dedication, and quality.
Raised in a family of hardworking artisans, I grew up watching my father create everything from furniture to handcrafted Stradivarius violin replicas, instilling a deep appreciation for detail and precision. With a brother running a successful home remodeling company in Canada, design and craftsmanship have always been a part of my DNA.
For years, woodworking was more than just a hobby—it was a passion. A way to create, refine, and bring beauty into everyday spaces. Now, that passion has grown into Canard Designs LLC, where every project, from custom accent walls to furniture refurbishing and more, is built with the same level of care and commitment to quality that has been a guiding principle throughout my career.
Beyond the workshop, I am a dedicated husband to my amazing wife Naomi, a proud father to three boys, and a dog dad to two loyal companions. Family is at the heart of everything I do, and that same care is poured into every piece I create—helping turn houses into homes.
If you're looking for custom woodworking that blends passion, precision, and quality, I’d be honored to bring your vision to life.
Why Accent Walls and Furniture Flipping?
What working with me is like?
Communication and Quality
We've all been there. You sign on a dotted line and the work starts. At some point, for some reason, the work stops and you have a hard time talking to someone to figure out 'what's going on'. Very frustrating!
Crystal clear communication is key.
I leverage my experience with Agile development methodology where I communicate daily on:
-
The project's status
-
Plan for the next day
-
Project timeline
So you can rest easy being fully aware of the work being done.
In addition to clear communication, I pride myself on the quality of my work and doing the right thing while still meeting timelines!
Customized Solutions
Whether the project is in an office or in a home, it is a reflection of your brand, your personality and your style.
I collaborate with you to ensure the end result accentuates your space and it's something you can be proud of.
I understand that every woodworking project is unique, which is why I take a personalized approach to ensure that the final result reflects your vision.
