Justin Christensen

Hi, I’m Justin - cofounder of Wallace Gail Homes. I’m the guy that lives and breathes exteriors: Siding, cladding, trim, roofing, you name it. I’ve spent years mastering everything from cedar shakes to modern composites, so your home stays strong, beautiful and weather-proof. I have 20+ years experience in residential, commercial and industrial construction work. Projects such as schools, hospitals, mine sites and even a prison have taught me the importance of quality, efficiency and safety as well as working with a team.

On the days I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, fishing a quiet stream, creating a new, delicious meal with tunes in the background - That’s the fuel that recharges me.

Let’s talk about your project. I promise it’ll be straightforward, no pressure - just real talk from someone who actually loves what they do.

Chad Christensen

Hello, I’m Chad - cofounder of Wallace Gail Homes. Starting at the age of 17, I’ve had the pleasure to work with some amazingly skilled individuals. From cabinet and furniture making to tiling, framing, etc., it has always been a goal to increase my knowledge base and master my skills.
I’ve run equipment, hung from ropes 150’ off the ground and even worked from a bosun chair. If it pertains to construction, I “need” to know. As long as I’m learning, I’m growing.

Specializing in design and finishing of all aspects of a project, I can help provide you with the information and ideas you may seek. Whether you like a log cabin vibe or a modern, contemporary feel, our team at Wallace Gail Homes can bring your vision to fruition.

Together, we can brainstorm and plan to produce a quality outcome that you and your family can enjoy for years to come, as well as a relationship that will stand the test of time.
