About Us

Leif MacIver (Owner/Renovation Specialist)

Leif was born in Port Hardy and grew up working in his dad’s cabinetry shop, where he picked up all kinds of skills and techniques from an early age. While still in school, he spent summers working on towing boats on the waters around Vancouver Island, and later on became a logger.

As a young man, he moved to the Lower Mainland, where he began managing an apartment building, gaining more hands-on repair and building experience, which he solidified by renovating the building. He spent seven years working as a site manager/renovation specialist for Klondike Contracting, a high-end Vancouver-based firm. He was often the client liaison and problem-solver on major renovation projects.

In addition to his decades of experience, Leif brings energy, creativity, and appreciation for the client’s perspective to his role with Stonesthrow.

Tanya Tejero (Project Manager/Bookkeeper)

Tanya grew up in Vancouver’s Chinatown and became interested in carpentry early in high school. She completed her first-year carpentry apprenticeship before meeting Leif in 2010. Together, Tanya and Leif have extensively renovated their family home, all while living in it. Tanya takes pride in making things flow smoothly thanks to her organizational skills, and she keeps the workplace clean and green. When not on site or in the office, Tanya enjoys learning languages, reading, yoga, hiking, and of course, her family.
