      Framing For 2nd Storey Renovation

      Oakville, ON

      We engaged the services of PTR Carpentry to frame a renovation we were doing to 2nd storey room over the garage. The design involved a hand cut roof which requires skilled cutting. Paul and his crew were outstanding.
      They work very effeciently together and got the job done on time and on budget. We were very happy with the work and would not hesitate to recommend them to others. We look forward to working with PTR Carpentry in the future.

      Pool Cabana

      Burlington, ON

      We are very happy with Paul and his crew at PTR Carp. They were great to work with. The days they were here we had +30 degree weather and they still worked their butts off with a sense of humour as well. Great group of guys, kept the area clean and very efficient.
      The framing of our new pool cabana is better than we excepted and we're loving the flat roof line design. Would use PTR Carp again no questions asked, highly recommend them.

      Swimming Pools, Spas & Hot Tubs

      Master Framer

      Burlington, ON

      I’ve had the pleasure of working with Paul now on multiple projects. He is my go to framing company. I have had multiple projects needing his level of quality and professionalism and he comes through every time. Looking forward working with him in the future!

      General Contractor

      Garage Framing

      Toronto, ON

      My neighbor and live on narrow lots in an old part of the city and share a mutual drive. Our 1930's small frame garages were falling apart and when we managed to get city permits to rebuild, I asked Paul if he would do the framing. Luckily for us he had a window of time. He gave us separate quotes for labour and material. Other quotes we received were higher, and used inferior materials. During construction I asked if the garage could be built with a vaulted ceiling. He got the go ahead from the building inspector and built it with no impact to the schedule or cost. He brought a big crew and both garages were framed and sheeted in less than three days. It would have taken me that long to order the material.
      We are very satisfied with Paul's skills, and professionalism.

      Home Improver

      Azek Deck

      Burlington, ON

      Had PTR over again to work on the deck project this spring. Work was done quickly, as always very tidy. Framing is of course of high quality. Tedious Azek composite installation part was taken to perfection, only Autocad can compete in accuracy. Thank you for another gorgeous part of my house!

      Victoria

      Garage

      Newmarket, ON

      Paul was recommended to me by another contractor, he stared when he said he would start and finished when he said he would finish. His crew worked with care and accuracy. I am very pleased with their performance and wouldn't hesitate to recommend and use their services again. Thanks Paul for a great job.

      Basement Framing

      Scarborough

      PTR Carpentry, Paul Richardson is the ultimate professional. Not only is he a master at his craft but an extremely friendly, polite, trustworthy trades-person. Our job was to completely frame a 1200 sqf basement. I contacted Paul because of the reviews I had read on HomeStars. He contacted me right away. We set up an appointment. Paul showed up to the appointment on time ready to answer all my questions. We booked a date 6 weeks away for him to complete the job. The day the job was to start the wood arrived, Paul and his assistant Martin arrived exactly when they said they would. The job was completed by 3:30 the next day. Perfect in every way. During the process I had to make a couple of small changes. Paul made adjustments to the original plans without hesitation. The project came in at the exact quote Paul had given me. When I came home from work the second day my basement was spotless. If you need any framing done, of any kind, don't hire anyone else but Paul (PTR Carpentry). Paul is the best. I would hire him back in a heartbeat. Thank you Paul and Martin. The basement looks amazing.

      Custom Modern Home Build

      Burlington

      Paul and the PTR team completed a 4000sq ft modern flat home build for me in South Burlington which involved 11 steel beams, 120 LVLs and countless cantilevers. From start to finish, they were competent and thorough. There were numerous challenges and changes which they tackled and solved with ease. The project was completed on time and on budget. Highly recommended.

      New House Build

      Vaughan

      I found Paul on Instagram and in the bio there is a statement; "Doing things right and keeping it honest." I can tell that this statement is 100% true. The level of professionalism, attention to detail, willingness to help and level of care is above all expectations. I wouldn't be able to pull off this project without Paul. Paul and his team have done a great job to the point that the city inspector, while inspecting the framing, said "there is nothing to inspect here, it's above the code requirements." I would definitely recommend Paul to anyone that is thinking to build a house or an addition to the house. But, make sure you book him way in advance because this guy is a maestro of framing and people are lining up for his service.

      New Deck Build

      Orillia

      Our deck was built at the same time as our house, in 1994. 26 years ago. We noticed a slight lean on one corner of our 12x12 deck. I took a shovel and dug down to check the 4x4 corner post. It was rotting under the ground surface as the original deck builder didn’t use concrete forms. The deck was not safe!
      Time for a new deck.
      We did our research on Homestars and reviewed many contractors. Time after time we noticed fantastic reviews about PTR Carpentry Inc. My wife and I were hoping PTR would be able to do our deck project even though we live an hour north of Toronto.
      We sent Paul, the owner, a detailed description of our old deck and what we would like for a new deck. We wanted a much larger deck for entertaining and relaxing.
      We received a confirmation email back from Paul abd he said he would review our timeline, our allotted budget and his upcoming schedule. I mentioned that I would demolish the old deck and get the deck post holes dug and poured with concrete, if he could fit us in.
      Paul called my number and told me he wanted to alter our deck plans to make it a deck to be proud of. Instead of one large, 16x28 foot deck, Paul drew up a schematic for a 2 tier deck! The upper deck from the patio doors would have an area for a bbq, a table for 6 to eat at, plus a deck box to house the chair cushions. The lower tier would be 1 step down and have plenty of room for a lounge, entertaining area. Gravity chairs, cantilever umbrella plus a propane fire bowl for evening fires. All on the same original 16x28 foot print!
      We budgeted $9000 and his quote was well under that. We hired him.
      Paul ordered all the lumber and necessary materials. It was delivered a few days before the big build. Paul and his employee, Steve, arrived at 7:30am Saturday morning. His large van had every tool you could think of for building and renovations.
      They worked all day and had lunch and dinner at our house. They didn’t take off for hours at a time. They had a job to do and were totally professional the entire time. Extreme polite to my wife and 2 kids plus Paul answered every question, no matter how silly it may seem. Paul made us feel so comfortable and we relaxed after a few chats.
      They called it a day at 7pm and left for home. The entire area was left clean and tidy. No nails, screws or scrap wood all over the yard. This was important because we own 2 small dogs that love the backyard. No issues at all.
      Paul and Steve returned the following day at 8am. They worked like a well oiled machine. Again, Paul explained what they were doing. We made sure to let them work and only check on them every few hours. By mid-afternoon, Paul knocked on our door. The deck was fully completed!
      We walked outside and were blown away. A 2 tier deck just as Paul had drawn up. It was beyond our expectations and It truly was a masterful job. Paul and Steve cleaned up all the scraps and made the backyard look as if they weren’t even there the past 2 days.
      My wife and I highly recommend PTR Carpentry Inc. as the one and only choice you will ever need for new build or renovation work. Paul is a professional. A man true to his word. A man proud of the work he does. That’s evident because his employee, Steve, has the same work ethic and professionalism Paul has.
      Thank you Paul. You made our backyard something we can brag about. You’re the best of...for a reason. There is no comparison.

      I LOVE THIS COMPANY!

      Burlington

      Taking on the job of being the General Contractor to build a new home from the ground up was overwhelming for me until I was referred to Paul Richardson, owner of PTR Carpentry. Right from the start, he offered to help me with advise and referrals to other trades throughout this process. Paul and his crew were always on time, respectful of myself and other trades on site and worked in harmony throughout the day. The site was always left clean and swept at the end of their day. I’m nearing the end of the construction and am still in contact with Paul. Every trade that’s worked in my house has commented on what a great job the carpenters have done, everything is built beautifully and level. I honestly don’t know if I could have come this far without Paul and his team. Their expertise and experience has been priceless. I will always recommend PTR Carpentry Inc. Thanks guys!

      Framing For A New House

      Burlington

      Paul and his team did a great job framing my new build house. They provided advice, gave me a lot of logistical support, arranged for the supply of materials and delivered a high quality job that impressed many of the subsequent subcontractors. Paul and his team were professional, personable and easy to deal with. I received feedback from my neighbours that the team was polite and courteous. I am happy that I engaged PTR for the project and recommend them highly, especially for projects where the GC is in need of a full service framer (as in my case).

      Reframing Of Two Bedrooms And Laundry Room

      Toronto

      This is the fourth time that we have had been so fortunate to have been able to lean on Paul and his PTR team during our renovations of a hundred year old home. As always, his efficiency, care, and knowledge added immeasurably to the end product. Over the past six years PTR has rebuilt most of our house as we have redone the house in stages. Working with an old house is never easy, but Paul understands the challenges and is brilliant in finding solutions to problems that arise from sloping floor, sagging joists, and skewed walls. Again, as we experienced before with PTR, the quality of their work was excellent and the speed of completion truly impressive. That is an astounding combination--quality and efficiency--but comes from Paul's extensive experience, deep knowledge, and care--he meticulously plans out everything he is going to do on the job site the night before. When his team starts working they are unstoppable and the job site always highly organized and clean as his teams works with choreographed precision. We are so grateful to have had been able to work with a company so professional at every level and feel blessed to now live in a house PRT rebuilt--knowing that in a hundred years from now it will still be standing without any sloping, sagging, or skewing. All I can say for someone looking for a professional framer, may you have the same wonderful opportunity.

      Framing For Second Floor And Roof

      Burlington

      Paul and his crew are an absolute pleasure to work with. When renovating, we look for people who are responsive, proactive and professional and PTR fits the bill. We have just finished framing for a second floor addition (1500sqft) with a whole new roof on our job and are very impressed. This was not an easy job (old house, lots of problems) but PTR are a crew of highly skilled carpenters and their experience is obvious from the get go.

      Paul was able to to come up with a number of solutions to a complex framing job. He was able to save us time, money and material in doing so and the solution he proposed was far better than the original which saved us adding a number of support posts on the main floor. He was able to deal with the engineer and city to ensure that all adjustments were approved and the whole thing went smoothly.

      PTR are the guys you go to when you need the job done right the first time around. Priced competitively for the quality of service, experience and workmanship. Paul is a breeze to deal with, communication on point and you never need to follow up with him as he's already 3 steps ahead.
      Thanks guys for a job well done!

      Burlington

      Paul and his team were absolutely exceptional! I sent my request for a job late one evening and Paul responded to me within minutes and got a quote for me shortly afterwards. He and his team built my entire home and garage within our timeline with no problem. His prices were very reasonable and every little detail was done to perfection. Paul and his team are by far the best carpenters I have met in my life. Even other contractors that were working on the home complemented his work. Paul's competence, communication, hard work, efficiency, responsiveness, and noticeable experience and knowledge in the industry really stood out to my family and I. I am extremely happy with the quality of work Paul provided for us. Our overall experience was great and I highly recommend PTR Carpentry.

      Paul responded to my initial inquiry within 20 minutes and provided a quote based on my Plans and Scope of Work the same day. We met and in short order inked a deal with a firm start and end date. Paul's professionalism, communication skills, obvious experience and industry knowledge made the decision easy for my wife and me. Paul and his talented Crew, Mike, Steve and Nate arrived as promised and ready to work everyday until the job was completed. As is my experience, there's always tweaks to make during a major renovation project and Paul and his Crew accommodated without missing a beat. The site was kept safe, clean and organized setting the bar extremely high for following Trades. We are extremely happy with the quality of work and our overall experience and highly recommend PTR Carpentry.

      Amazing Addition At The Front Of Our House

      Toronto

      Having Paul and his crew at our house was a completely stress free experience. We hired Paul to take apart our existing front porch and rebuild an enclosed porch. The drawings that Paul had to work with were limited so he had to make decisions about what to do and not rely on our drawings. Paul communicated with us throughout the process as to what he thought would be best. When the City of Toronto inspector came to inspect the work he was so impressed by the workmanship. He actually told us that the framing and support for our addition exceeded his expectations.

      Paul is reliable, competent and his pricing is competitive. He met with us twice to discuss our project and followed through with everything as we discussed. In fact our final bill ended being a little less than estimated Seriously when does that happen? We are so thankful that Paul came to do this for us (not as big as his other jobs). Paul as his crew are wonderful and I highly recommend them for your framing needs. Just get on the phone with them ASAP because they are busy! Thanks Paul.

      On Time And Fantastic Work Even After An Ice Storm

      Toronto

      Renovations are stressful but working with companies like PTR headed by Paul, makes it so much easier.

      I contacted PTR to frame our recently underpinned basement. When the ice storm hit on the weekend this April 16th, I thought for sure they might cancel or at least show up late. But they were right on time ready to tackle the job.

      I was blown away by their workmanship. We have a 120 year old home with all its qwerks, unleveled ceilings, awkward placed windows, etc but PTR walked me through everything and completed the job on time and exactly for the price quoted. I couldn't be more pleased and would not hesitate to recommend Paul and PTR in a heartbeat.

      Possibly the best framers around.
      If your framing is bang on, everything else becomes more seamless and cost efficient.
      That is what I got with PTR. I had numerous compliments from other trades on how good the framing was. Windows were dead centre, studs were exactly every 16". Even the city inspectors were impressed.
      They made easy work of framing my home (which had a seminal complicated roof line.
      PTR stayed in communication, helped me order materials to keep the job moving, and worked through some really poor winter /spring weather.

      And their prices were inline with everyone else, but with better service.

      I would not hesitate to recommend them

      Best Framers To Deal With

      Toronto

      Our original framers bailed on us leaving us without bulkheads a week before our drywall was scheduled to start. I reached out to Paul at PTR with an SOS on a Friday night. He responded right away and immediately lined up a couple of his guys to help me out before my drywall deadline. The two guys showed up as scheduled, on time. They were fast, efficient framers and polite and respectful while on the job.

      The next day Paul reached out to me to make sure everything went well and to make sure I was satisfied with the work. Super customer service.

      I'll be hiring PTR in a few years when we're ready for our 3rd floor expansion. I've had a lot of trouble finding good, reliable framers. This company is fabulous!

      New Build In Etobicoke

      Toronto

      We were in need of a framing crew for a difficult multi-level split custom home build, as our long-time framer retired, and his crew went their separate ways. I found PTR Carpentry via. a quick google search, followed by reading these very comments, and lastly an Instagram follow up. From that point forward, it was smooth sailing. Paul and his crew were a joy to work with - they started when they said they would, were on site everyday, finished their obligation on time, and handed the site back to us clean from all debris with remaining lumber neatly stacked.
      Finding someone to hold true to their commitment from start to finish, along with providing exceptional work quality at a reasonable price is not easy, and they do all of this with ease!

      If you’re on here looking for a framer like I was, no need to keep looking – the search ends with these guys!

      Thanks again,

      Addition Of A House

      Toronto

      We have hired PTR for our home addition project in July. As home owners, this is our very first project. We knew the importance of having a good framing team. After talking to many framing companies, we had decided to give the job to Paul, which is the besr decision we have made.

      We had no clue or knowledge about structure and framing. Working with Paul, we were comfortable to give the entire work to him and had more time to plan for our next steps. We did not have to worry that something would go wrong with them.

      Matt and Paul are very open to communicate with us about any structural issue in the house since we have an old fundation. They gave us headsup about what would happen and solutions to solve problems.

      They are patient to any questions we ask and replied our text messages fast. They really do their best to make clients happy. Yes, after dealing with many trades for this project, we can tell who really cares.

      We will strongly recommend them to our friends and any home owners who are new to construction. Working with PTR, you really won't have headach or waste your time to worry about how your house' frame will be done.

      Complete Framing For A New Build Home In Mississauga, ON.

      Toronto

      I met Paul Richardson from PTR after reading reviews about PTR on Home Stars for complete framing of family home in Mississauga.

      Right from the start Paul proved to be a true professional with on time response for estimate with all necessary information. The estimate was fair and in line with industry standards.

      Paul accommodated a small delay on our side due to heavy rain in May & June 2017. His crew were at the site when scheduled, were courteous, knowledgeable and maintained site scheduled without sacrificing the final quality.

      The agreed scope of work was completed on time, due to the high quality of workmanship the city inspection went smoothly with minimum wastage of material that was ordered from the lumber company.

      Paul was also a great resource for providing contacts for other sub trades and suggestions outside his own scope of work.

      I will be using Paul again in the very near future and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a quality work, fair pricing and maintaining site schedule.

      Toronto

      I was pointed in PTR's direction by a friend who hires them frequently for custom homes. He set lofty expectations and Paul and his crew met them overwhelmingly. His prices were very reasonable and his crew met our very tight timeline with no problem. Even the hand cut roof was done to perfection. Every little detail was thought of. The day after they completed the framing we had our roofer do a site visit and even he was amazed at the quality of work.

      Paul was very personable as well as his crew. He even took the time to aide us in some design elements and was very helpful troubleshooting issues.

      Will hire again with pleasure!

      Deck — 8 Ft High

      Niagara Falls

      My wife and I almost never do reviews, probably this is our first one, however this time we were so impressed by the professionalism, speed and skills of Paul Richardson and his team ( PTR Carpentry ) that we think it is worth writing a word of appreciation and helping other homeowners complete their projects by using a trustworthy contractor, which we can tell from our own experience it is hard to find.

      The project :

      8ft high deck attached to a raised bungalow - approx. 400 sq. feet including stairs with a landing platform in the middle ( 6 steps + 5 steps = total 11 steps ).

      Structure - Pressure Treated
      Decking + railing : Cedar
      Waterproofing under decking created another space below the deck of more than 200 sq. ft.

      Project was completed in time and we also appreciated great customer service from Paul and his employees.
      They were always starting work at the same time every day and did not leave the site until the work for that day was completed !

      Many thanks Paul and team !

      Much appreciated,

      Stefan

      Interior Framing

      Toronto

      We contacted Paul to do interior framing on one of our projects. The framing included full basement, removing/adding walls on a main floor to reconfigure a kitchen and bathroom as well as adding and reworking some walls on the second floor to accommodate a new bedroom, master bath and closet. Paul and his crew were excellent. They handled the entire project with total ease. Even when our client asked for changes to already framed walls, Paul and his crew completed everything with total professionalism. They were reasonably priced and completed the project on time. To say we are satisfied with their work would be an understatement. Put simply, they were fantastic!

      Second Floor Addition (Halton Hills)

      Toronto

      We were in need of a carpenter to complete a second floor addition,
      Paul from PTR Carpentry was able to work with our schedule to complete the work on-time.
      Paul and his crew were professional and knowledgeable about all aspects of the rebuild. Paul also managed to save us money,
      by catching a design problem regarding the roof trusses that were already order.
      Paul and his crew are friendly, professional and true to his word.
      If anyone would ask me what carpentry crew to use, I would simply say PTR Carpentry....professional...experts....knowledgeable...and
      true to his word.
      Thank you

      I found Paul at PTR Carpentry INC on the Homestars website and after reading the outstanding reviews, didn't hesitate to contact him. This review is no different. Paul was able to do what other contractors couldn't, building us a new large dormer window for an upstairs bedroom. Paul and his crew member Steve were professional, reliable, punctual and the quality of workmanship was excellent. From start to finish the job moved quickly and smoothly. I couldn't be happier with the work and would highly recommend Paul for your next project. Thank you Paul.

      Framing For Addition

      Markham

      Paul and his team did exceptional work in framing our addition. We were well behind schedule due to delayed foundation work. Paul came in and completed all the framing for a 300 sq ft addition in 3 days. He and his team arrived early and worked tirelessly through the days. PTR is a highly professional company and Paul leads his team with integrity. He clearly has pride in the work he does. A highly professional team! Reminds us that there are still good people in construction who care about what they do!

      Two Load Bearing Walls Removal

      Brampton

      This review is long overdue! We went through a number of wall removal contractors before we came across Paul from PTR Carpentry. From the get go Paul was very professional and he made sure to guide us every step of the way. His way of handling the business is phenomenal and very professional. We had two load bearing walls removed and the work was done in 2 days! Their work is very precise and very easily and carefully this complex task was done!His whole team makes sure everything around the walls being removed is kept clean and no dust goes flying away, this was important for us because we have a baby. They were always on time , actually well before time and made sure to clean up whatever they tore down! We highly recommend paul and his team if you want professional , organized , tidy and excellent work done!

      Wow. Paul came in with his crew and totally turned our site around from a dysfunctional workplace where nothing was getting done to a cracking site where every day saw huge, perfectly built progress. Paul and his team are honest, self sufficient and deliver excellent work to boot. I can't recommend this company enough. There are framers who may seem a bit cheaper up front, but in the end you will pay more to fix their mistakes - not to mention the extra stress!! Save yourself the money, time and energy and pick the right company to begin with.

      House Addition And Garage

      Toronto

      PTR was recommended to me as a competent carpenter and framer crew. With 30 years in the building industry, I seldom see the expertise or professionalism that Paul and his crew demonstarted from start to finish.
      The project was complicated with a challenging third storey roof tie in and a steeply pitched hip roof. The results were outstanding. I would have no problem saying that their talent and skill set is very high! I would say its a wise choice to select PTR and your trade of choice

      Load Bearing Wall

      Burlington

      We found Paul's name from Homestars with excellent reviews. Paul was quick to respond with a visit and quote. He arrived on site with his crew at the time and date promised. His team's work was excellent and the inspector was quick to close out the project file. PTR were courteous, professional and they left the site spotless. We highly recommend Paul and won't hesitate to contact him next time we have a project. Thank you Paul!

      Basement Framing

      Vaughan

      I contacted Paul about framing my basement. He showed up the next day for a quote and we were on the way. He was very knowledgeable and had many good ideas. We even had him move a wall after it was completed with no problems. Paul and his crew of 3 were very polite and clean which was a big thing for me. Definitely a true professional. I would highly recommend him for any of your framing needs. Thanks Paul!!

      New Front Porch And Roof Revision

      Mississauga

      We hired PTR Carpentry to build a front porch and complete a revision of a flat roof into a sloped roof. Paul and his crew did an amazing job and we couldn’t be happier with the finished product. The attention to detail and quality of work are exemplary. Paul made the entire project stress free from beginning to end. Great communication, suggestions and professional advice on every detail related to the project. Paul took the time to implement last minute changes to deliver our dream vaulted gable. All Building Code requirements were met and all levels of inspections passed with flying colours. PTR Carpentry is an honest, professional and knowledgeable company and we would not hesitate to hire them again in the future. Thank you guys for all your hard work!

      I am so happy and grateful I've found Paul and his guys for my house construction!! Aside of being extremely professional, patient and loyal, their workmanship is beyond excellent!

Thank you very much for everything again, Alex and Daria (Burlington,ON)

      Simply The Best

      Burlington

      Paul and his team have built my dream house /2000 sqf addition this summer. The result is amazing, the process was fun.
      From the start Paul looked thru my 'pre-permit' Blue Prints and made some valuable structural comments well accepted by the Project structural engineer.
      Paul coordinated all material delivery which made whole framing part of the project an easy and enjoyable time for me. It is very exciting to get back from office every night and see the house becoming a reality in a matter of days. Great communication, we had things cleared quickly by texting.
      The team took great care of my existing house protecting it from rain at all stages of framing until the roof got watertight.
      Other trades/estimators were leaving very positive comments about high quality of my framing. Dream house was framed, no mess left after, all promises kept :-)
      Top notch pros.
      Really enjoyed having you guys on my project! Will recommend you wholeheartedly (already did)!
      Thank you!

      Create Entryway In Load Bearing Wall

      Mississauga

      I was very, very impressed. Paul was competitively priced and really knows his stuff. We created a 60" entry way between our kitchen and family room. It really opened up the space and looks great. You never know what you'll find when you open it up. We encountered ductwork, electrical and plumbing. Paul knew exactly what to do structurally and made the opening as large as possible given the constraints in the wall. It was done quickly and everything was closed off during the work to keep things clean. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him (already have).

      Deck Addition

      Burlington

      I engaged PTR Carpentry to design and construct an addition to my deck. It was a very complicated addition, involving 3 sets of stairs and 2 landings. Paul, the owner of PTR, and his assistant did an absolutely fantastic job. They sank footings, and designed and built the addition on top of those footings. I can't say enough about the excellence of their work! In addition, they left the jobsite in immaculate condition. If you need any carpentry work done, PTR Carpentry is THE company to contact.

      Framing

      Toronto

      I can't thank Paul and the crew enough they framed my new home to a level where both my Architects and engineers commented on the excellent work. Paul always dealt with the issue and told me about the solution after he contacted inspectors architects without prompting - No stress minimal decisions - he just made it perfect. If you're framing a new home or renovating don't think twice this crew is the real deal - polite, professional and clean. Says what he is going to do and does it but goes beyond! Paul also helped me get other trades of his caliber which was extremely helpful. As a bonus he put this link up with his drone and captured my entire reno. Seriously!! https://www.skypixel.com/share/video/framing-a-custom-home-in-mississauga - thanks for helping us build our dream home guys!

      Master Class – 3rd Floor Addition In Toronto

      Toronto

      Paul and his crew removed our roof and put a third floor on our 90 year old semi-detached home in downtown. The work involved a dusty removal of over 4" of flat roof and build up of the new structure, walls and roof. Paul and his team was incredible. His communication was great - he always kept us posted on the weather and let us know his plan (we had two snowy/rain days). He also consistently arrived on time and was prepared to get to work as soon as he arrived. His team was focused and driven to make significant progress every day - It was obvious that Paul had a plan and kept his team to it... It was also obvious that Paul takes pride in his work - there is nothing less than perfection in his books. Without a roof for several days - we had a tarp covering our home. Paul spent the time to make sure everything was done to protect the house - even returning later in the evening to check on on the tarp during high winds and snow. Paul also accommodated changes throughout - making small and sometimes big changes on the fly with ease. His craftsmanship and attention to detail is second to none - we even had a building envelope engineer take a look - he was impressed! Paul was professional and clean on site and made sure our neighbours were respected throughout - he left the site clean and well organized every night. We are very pleased with the work and feel very luck to have had Paul and his team work with us. We look forward to our next project with Paul.

      Structural Framing

      Toronto

      In short: Paul and PTR Carpentry are an absolute pleasure to work with!

      We hired PTR to complete all of the structural framing on our project. They replaced all of the floor joists of the 2nd and 3rd floors, levelled the 1st floor by sistering lumber, changed all of the staircase openings, rebuilt the rear extension and front bay window, and removed and rebuilt the roof.

      As someone that works with a lot of different trades in the industry, Paul and his crew stand out for several reasons:

      1. Work Ethic - These guys show up every day ready to work. We visited the job site several times per day during this project and were always amazed by how much was getting done, and how professionally the crew conducted themselves. As evident from the description above, they essentially rebuilt the entire house; and all of this was accomplished in about 3 weeks.

      2. Workmanship - The quality of the work produced was outstanding! These guys take what they do very seriously and show a lot of pride in their work. Everything that was completed was done to spec and with great attention to detail.

      3. Professionalism - Paul's crew conduct themselves very professionally on site. From keeping the job site clean to accommodating some very difficult neighbours, you won't have anything to worry about with PTR on site. Paul always called whenever an issue cropped up, and was always great to work with when troubleshooting and finding solutions.

      Again, it was an absolute pleasure working with PTR and we hope to do more projects with them in the future! Rest assured you will be in good hands if you bring them on.
