Matt Lamb

We recently had our backyard fence built and couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, Brandon took time to understand exactly what we wanted and delivered a final product that exceeded our expectations. Our backyard feels more private, secure, and polished now. Thank you for a job well done.

Anthony Postiglione

Brandon is highly professional and incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to renovation needs. He is exceptionally detail-oriented and highly skilled in all aspects of construction. He helped me complete my project stress-free and on budget. I will definitely be using BDH for all future projects.

Anton Voronoff

I have renovated many units, delt with many contractors over the years. With 100% certainty Brandon would be top of my list to recommend. Work was done one time, on budget. Clean honest work with attention to detail, absolutely a pleasure to deal with. Will use his services again. Thank you, Anton.

Nigel Sexsmith

Brandon did an excellent job building and installing custom shelving in our living room. He provided detailed explanations up front, demonstrated great attention to detail, offered a variety of stain options, and maintained excellent communication throughout the project. The overall cost was very reasonable, and I would highly recommend Brandon for any custom carpentry work.

It was a very pleasant experience hiring BDH Carpentry for a small renovation we recently finished. From communication to cabinet installation everything was a smooth process. Very happy with the price point & quality of work.

Before you hire a carpenter in Ontario

General carpentry is a voluntary trade in Ontario, not a compulsory one. A Certificate of Qualification exists and is a genuine signal, but it is not legally required.

Certificate of Qualification, 403A General Carpenter

Voluntary rather than compulsory, which makes it a useful differentiator. It indicates completed apprenticeship and a passed exam.

Verify with: Skilled Trades Ontario maintains the public register.

Check BDH Carpentry on the official register

General liability insurance and WSIB clearance

Standard checks, particularly for structural and deck work.

Building permit for structural work and most decks

Ontario municipalities generally require a permit for decks above a certain height, any structural alteration, and load-bearing changes. Guard and railing heights are code-specified.

Verify with: Your municipal building department.

Engineered drawings for load-bearing removal

Removing a load-bearing wall requires a beam specification from a qualified professional. This is not a place to accept a verbal opinion.

Questions worth asking

  • Do you mainly do rough or finish carpentry? Can I see photos of work like mine?
  • Is this quoted hourly or as a fixed price, and what is the estimate if hourly?
  • Does this job need a permit, and are you pulling it?
  • Who supplies materials, and is there a markup on them?
  • For a deck: what footing depth, and how is it attached to the house?
