About Us

About Us

My name is Ben van Leeuwen, owner of Spring Ridge Contracting & Design. I am excited to work with you to create and build living spaces that will make your house a home. Your lifestyle and demands from your home are always changing and evolving, but with well built fundamental elements, you will be able to enjoy a timeless space for generations to come.

Since 2006, I’ve gained a wealth of experience in commercial, residential, and landscape construction. I am passionate about traditional forms of construction, including timber framing, stone work, and blacksmithing, and enjoy incorporating them into projects, either in traditional form, or with a modern twist.

I look forward to working with you, from concept to completion, to create a project that meets your needs in a creative, innovative, and cost effective manner, leaving you with nothing to do but enjoy your fresh new space.

Mark Hutten, President – Hutten & Co. Land and Shore.

“We were fortunate enough to have Ben come to do some very necessary repairs in our bathroom.

He was open, honest and straightforward about what was the best strategy, how much it would cost, and how it would look. He was punctual, responsive and totally reliable. He did a wonderful job, and he was really pleasant to have around.

We’ll be calling Ben with projects we need to do in the future. He will be our go-to guy from now on. Highly recommend!

Suzanne Myers

“We had a fantastic experience working with Ben from Spring Ridge Contracting & Design! Ben quickly put together a quote and plan for our deck construction. Ben’s quote was more reasonable and thought out than others that we had received. Because of that, we were able to upgrade some finishes on the project! He advised us on material and footing options that saved time, money or prep work. Ben’s knowledge and experience gave us the confidence to know that we were making the right choices!

I cannot recommend Spring Ridge Contracting & Design enough. I would hire Ben again in a heartbeat, and I know that we will!”

Jill Prange

“Spring Ridge Contracting removed our old deck and built a beautiful new deck and railing around the back and side of our house. We are very pleased with the whole experience. Ben is conscientious and reliable. He is prompt and pleasant to work with. The workmanship in the new deck is excellent.

Ben is meticulous and works carefully and expertly. The result is fantastic and we appreciate the attention to small details which will ensure that this new deck lasts a long time. We would not hesitate to recommend Spring Ridge Contracting!

Mike and Fran Murray/Turner

“I hired Spring Ridge to construct a Timber Framed Roof for a landscaping project we were working on. Ben did an amazing job and contributed many helpful suggestions throughout the design and construction phases. On time, on budget, excellent quality!
