An Aldergrove family business is at the Langley spring Home Show this weekend.

The show started Friday, and is open Saturday, May 27 and Sunday, May 28, featuring more than 100 vendors with products for improvement or decor at the George Preston Recreation Centre.

Zator’s Wood Working, based in Aldergrove, was founded by Ed Zator in 2005, and has been family-owned and operated since.

His son, Nick Zator, had a display of wood products the family made from tables to bath boards, plus charcuterie boards, and even a pair of barn doors.

“We do custom barn doors, tabletops, fireplace mantles, and some custom build furniture,” Nick said.

They get their materials through a family friend in the forestry industry, who finds them logs that aren’t “typically commercially viable,” he explained.

Nick Zator of Zator’s Wood Working said their products are made from extra or leftover wood considered not viable for commercial use. (Kyler Emerson/Langley Advance Times)

“We’re able to breathe new life into material that often would end up as waste.”

He said the business was built out of passion from his father, and Nick himself loves building furniture.

The family business also works with local arbourist and tree pruners to help cut down the wood safely.

“We’ve been in Langley for my entire life, and my parents’ lives, and my siblings’ lives. It’s really cool to be part of the community and be able to reach out to the community on a broader scale at a home show like this,” Nick said.

Darcy Hope, show manager, has been in the business for 12 years and said they host 22 shows throughout a given year. (Kyler Emerson?Langley Advance Times)

Darcy Hope, show manager, said there is a fantastic selection for home improvements.

“There’s windows, doors, roofing, solar flooring. It’s a great one-stop shop for everything,” he said.

A draw for a $250 gift card to Home Depot is also being offered.

Hope said there are 22 shows throughout a given year across B.C. and Vancouver Island.

The rec centre is located at 20699 42nd Ave.
