Our Story
Construction has been Benjamin VandenBrink's passion since childhood, providing both a source of income and work experience in his youth.
He began leading his own projects in 2003 and continued his business under the name Delize Inc. (a mix of the newlywed's middle names). A basement storage room, a cavalier, and an old utility trailer were the beginnings of Delize Inc. back in 2008.
For over a decade Delize Inc. has grown and served customers in the Edmonton area!
From kitchens, basements, and bathrooms, to windows, garages, and decks, every project is done with this mission:
Creating and restoring purpose with excellence and integrity!
We strive to progress each aspect of our projects quickly and smoothly, while going the extra mile from concept to completion.
A strong work ethic and positive team culture set us apart.
We look forward to transforming your space.
It has been a joy to grow both our immediate family and our business family! Please enjoy learning more about our team members below.
– Benjamin and Charlene VandenBrink
Our Team
Benjamin VandenBrink leads the team, meets with clients, estimates new projects, recruits new team members, and inspires vision. Benj also infuses humor while raising the bar at every level, for both himself and his employees.
While his passion and skillset began with serving clients in the field, he transitioned into the office in 2015; although when he does get the chance to work on-site he feels right in his element and misses the hands-on work.
Benj and Charlene got married in 2008 and have since welcomed 6 children, as well as renovated an entire 1970s home from top to bottom. In his downtime he enjoys cross-country skiing, biking, mountain-climbing, and guitar playing.

Keagan and Kristen met at their youth group in junior high school and were married in 2008. 4 years later they welcomed their son, George. They started as foster parents in 2019 and have been caring for the same child since then; they really enjoy it and have learned a lot from it. They enjoy playing basketball or playing with their dog, Dolly, as well as watching movies together.
