Magnus Home Improvements is a home-run business operated by Ryan and Emily. Ryan was inspired to pursue carpentry while learning about radically sustainable buildings known as earthships. After completing a workshop on the first earthship built in Ontario, he began his work in carpentry with Toronto Wood Windows over 25 years ago. There he completed custom window installations and fine carpentry work in Toronto’s Rosedale and Forest Hill neighborhoods. Ryan was hooked and quickly learned the artistry involved in wood work. He has since worked as a framing carpenter, where he mastered hand-cut roofs, and as a forming carpenter, building radius and other complex concrete forms. He has spent the last 10 years working as a carpenter and contractor in home renovations, refining his skills in finishing carpentry.
