Vicky Rivers

The Carpentry Group transformed an awkward corner space in our basement living room into a stunning custom built in media console. Their attention to detail and desire to build something that was of good quality was evident. We found them to be responsive, on schedule, and left everything spotless. With the floor and walls all working against each other only a custom build was suitable to optimise the space. Top notch craftsmanship.

Adam came recommended by a neighbour, and we were very happy to work with him. He was communicative, generous with ideas, a good thinking partner, and patient in staying with us while we navigated a longer permit process. The final build looks great, and we appreciated the professionalism and careful work from his team.

Dan Kenel

We recently hired The Carpentry Group for a complete basement renovation in Toronto, and they delivered an outstanding transformation! The project included a brand new kitchen, a stylish full bathroom, fresh luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, plus new interior doors and baseboards. From rough framing and plumbing/electrical to final finishes, everything was handled professionally and with strong attention to detail. The team was communicative, stuck to the timeline, respected our home, and kept the site clean every day. No surprises on budget, and the quality of work and care exceeded what we expected.

Paul Policaro

Adam and his team did a fantastic job installing a custom bifold door for us. It used a compact European bifold hinge system that was the only real solution for a very tight space, and the installation required extremely precise finish carpentry skills. I had spoken with several companies who were hesitant to take on something unfamiliar, but Adam was enthusiastic from the start. He took the time to fully understand the mechanism and the complexity of the installation. Raffa, from his team, embraced the challenge and did a fabulous job setting it up. We’re thrilled with the results and how smoothly the door operates. We look forward to hiring Adam and his team again for future carpentry projects.

Gino Fazari

I reached out to several companies to fix our front porch, but I knew from the first conversation that The Carpentry Group was the right choice. Adam was professional, friendly, and detail-oriented. He presented options that fit my budget and stuck to the timeline perfectly. We are extremely happy with our decision, I highly recommend them!

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 The Carpentry Group Inc. | Decks | Porches | General Contractor 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?
