Safety first
No schedule is worth an injury. We plan the work around safe execution, every day.
About us
A northern company, built on relationships
Two decades of construction and oilfield work, owned by the people whose territory we work in.
Our story
From a single crew to a full-service contractor
Top Notch got its start in 2004 with a simple idea: do quality work, do it safely, and stand behind it. That approach carried us through two decades of northern construction.
In 2005 we acquired Ray-Patch Pipeline & Plant Construction, adding pipeline and facility capability — and with it, a major SAGD plant build in the Fort McMurray area that put us on the map.
Today, Top Notch is owned by Randy “Boomer” Desjarlais and his wife Judy, members of the Blueberry River First Nations, and is a full member of the Blueberry River Contractors Association. We work with industry to create partnerships and economic opportunity for our community.

What we stand for
The way we work
Quality work
Built right the first time, because rework costs more than doing it properly.
Accountability
Clear scope, honest timelines, and a crew that answers the phone when you call.
Community
Training, local employment and partnerships that leave something behind.
Community
More than a contractor
We are owned by Randy “Boomer” and Judy Desjarlais, members of the Blueberry River First Nations, and that shapes how we do business. We hire locally, support training, and look for ways to build capacity that outlasts any single project.
Working with industry is how we create economic opportunity for our community — and how we help move reconciliation from a statement into real work.
