Our Team

Miranda is at the centre of all the activity in our office. Miranda will be your 1st and last point of contact throughout your entire project. She oversees all of our administrative and financial responsibilities including payroll, accounts payable and receivables, banking, account reconciliation, and job costing. 

Miranda created and leads our Health and Safety program which is 100% focused on job site, employee, and customer safety.

Miranda is a positive force of energy that helps to ensure our projects stay on time and on budget. She spends most of her time in the office, but you will also find her on our job sites taking professional project pictures for our website and social media platforms.

Miranda’s father and stepfather are both tradesmen, so she has extensive experience and a strong understanding of what needs to happen behind the scenes to deliver a successful project for our customers.

When not at Paradise, Miranda loves spending time with her friends and family and being a tourist in her own town, Kingston.

Ben has been with the company for almost 3 years now. Ben has been a red seal licenced carpenter for 8 years. Growing up in the trades he has always had a passion for working with his hands. He has knowledge in most building practices and he’s even taught energy-efficient building at St. Lawrence College. He enjoys challenging projects in detail-oriented work that stretch the limits of design and functionality. With a great attitude, he will always make you laugh and enjoy the construction process. 

Tim started in the trades by completing an electrical co-op in high school. He then worked in landscape design in Belleville for 5 years and developed a particular love for the building components of jobs. In 2012, he moved to Kingston and started working as a carpenters apprentice with his father-in-law where, over the following 7 years, he renovated kitchens and bathrooms, flipped full houses, built decks and fences, and a little of everything in between. Tim became fully licensed in 2016 and now enjoys training and mentoring those new to the trade. He joined Paradise in early 2020 and leads his team in a wide range of projects. He is very detail-oriented, enjoys an honest hard day’s work, and strives for excellence in all aspects. Tim is a family man who is the happiest fishing at the cottage or making a great play on the soccer field. He is looking forward to building many custom homes and continuing to make homeowner’s dreams come true with Paradise Construction! 

Be sure to say hello next time you see Tim in passing. 

Meet Nick. Nick was born and raised in Kingston and grew up playing multiple different sports, staying active in his community. After high school, Nick attended Algonquin College in 2013 for the pre-service fire fighting course and shortly after got on with the City of Kingston in 2013. Not long after returning home, Nick started his carpentry career by framing homes with a local home builder and that is where his passion for the trades began. Nick has recently completed his carpentry apprenticeship and is working towards completing his Red Seal Certificate. Nick was promoted to the rank of Captain with Kingston Fire and Rescue around the same time he got hired on with Paradise Construction back in the fall of 2020. Nick loves being a part of a growing high-quality construction company with a great group of hard-working people.
