We sought out a recommended renovation/carpentry company for a basement bathroom we wanted done. Since initial contact, the team was very available for questions, always returning emails or calls in a timely manner and all were very polite; personable. There is no chasing involved with this company, they are a team with integrity. The custom vanity was beautifully crafted with soft close drawers and doors; an expertly painted finish to our chosen colour. The quartz countertop company they use were also excellent with a superb selection of slabs as well as friendly, professional staff. From ceramic tile, acrylic shower, to drywall, trim, cabinet/quartz countertop installation and painting, we cannot say enough how pleased we were to have this team look after our bathroom renovation. If there are any items that might require addressing, they are 100% dependable to make it right. We will highly recommend Mailhot Carpentry Co. unreservedly and hire them again for other projects. Thank you to the entire team!

We reached out to Mailhot Carpentry earlier in the year to hire for kitchen renovations. We received a quick and friendly response back and knew it was the right fit. The guys took the time to meet with us and help us navigate which product to go with. The team was knowledgeable and incredibly helpful! The end result exceeded our expectations. Overall, our experience was excellent, and would highly recommend their service.

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.

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?
