About Clearwater Homes Ltd.
About the Owner
A passion for quality going back more than 20 years
My introduction to residential construction was in 1994 as a summer job with a builder in Rocky Mountain House. This summer position lasted until 1997 and gave me a great foundation to construction fundamentals as we were hands on almost all aspects of new home construction. I have been working full time in the construction industry since 2000. I worked my way up from a labour position to serving 8 years as the Construction Manager with a large Red Deer Builder where I had the pleasure of building and managing a great team in the construction of multi family, residential and commercial projects throughout Central Alberta. I feel that it is my drive, unwillingness to compromise, attention to detail and organization skills that have helped me to achieve these goals.
Along the way I worked hard to receive my Red Seal Journeyman Carpenter status and then proceeded to achieve certificates through the Professional Home Builders Institute of Alberta (PHBIA) as Professional Site Manager in 2009 and Master Home Builder in 2010. From 2012-2016 I volunteered for two terms as a director on the Canadian Home Builders Association-Central Alberta and as Co-Chair on the builder council from 2014-2016. I have numerous other course certificates that relate to construction, safety, leadership and business.
Currently I reside in Sylvan Lake, Alberta and have lived there since 2008. I am happily married to my wife Lydia and we are blessed to be parents to Ava and Levi. We are very involved in the community through sports and the church we attend. I have enjoyed coaching baseball, hockey, soccer and volleyball numerous times over the years.

We first met with Troy Walker in 2021. We had purchased the perfect piece of land and we wanted to build our dream home on it.
Troy reviewed the design and met with us on several occasions. Since, like most people, we did not have an unlimited budget, cost saving was paramount. From the very first meeting Troy’s expertise and extensive industry experience was evident. We felt that he heard us. He truly went out of his way to make our wish list a reality, while making cost saving a priority.
He was always quick to estimate costs and get back to us with numbers.
The contractors that were hired for the job were excellent. It was evident that Troy have built strong relationships with the people he used, but he also insisted on quality workmanship, and fought on our behalf to get great results.
Troy is an honest builder, a man of integrity and is skilled in his art. We had the privilege of getting to know him better through this process and have become good friends.
We recommend him whole heartedly!

My husband and I hired Troy Walker, of Clearwater Homes, to build an addition on our cottage in Sylvan Lake. From our initial discussions to the completion of the project, Troy was very professional and pleasant to deal with.
When Troy first came to our cottage to provide us with a quote, he was very thorough and answered all the questions we had. He came across as very knowledgeable about his line of work. He brought up aspects of the job we were not aware of, made recommendations and seemed incredibly trustworthy. We had to get permits from the Town, which was a very difficult, but Troy was very helpful during the entire process.
During the course of construction, Troy was very communicative. We live in Edmonton so we were not able to come to the site as often as we would have liked. However, Troy contacted me at least once a week to give me an update on the progress and always sent several photos so we could see what had been completed. He would also let me know what was coming up for the following week. There were a few minor problems that came up over the project (like with any project), and Troy always attended to them immediately and made sure everything in the cottage was just the way we wanted it.
When the project was complete, Troy did a very thorough walk through with us. He made sure we were satisifed with the finished product. The entire addition including trim work, flooring, tile work, and painting was done with great precision and care. It is clear that Troy takes great pride in his work and his main priority is to make his clients happy. We are so pleased with the new addition on our cottage. It looks fantastic and we can’t wait to enjoy it for years to come. I would highly recommend Troy and his company to anyone looking to do a new home build or home renovation project.

We are so pleased with our new house and have never loved a home as much as this one!
From our first meeting with Troy, with Clearwater Homes Ltd, we were so impressed by his knowledge and passion for building homes. We knew right from the beginning we had selected the right builder.
Any questions we had about our future home were answered openly and honestly in a timely manner. Troy provided us with multiple options for the features of our home, and because of this we were able to make informed decisions in respect to cost vs quality. Troy was very helpful in assisting us in prioritizing our selections while being cost conscious at the same time.
Troy is very personal, kind and is a pleasure to converse with. He has great connections with subtrades in the industry, who enjoy working for him and Clearwater Homes Ltd.
During our site visits we noted a positive and organized work environment between all contractors.
Because of Troy’s expertise our home came in on time and on budget.
Troy has integrity and is very diligent. Even post construction he is always willing to answer any questions we have.
If you are considering building or renovating your home, we highly recommend Clearwater Homes Ltd. You will not regret it!

We hired Troy for our bathroom renovations. We did all three bathrooms in our home. Troy was professional, concise and trustworthy. His transparency left for no surprises and he made sure to source out the best quality for the best cost. It was really nice having someone we could fully rely on to get the job done start to finish and make sure that the end result was exactly what we wanted. We would strongly recommend Clearwater Homes for all your construction needs and wishes.
