Traveling Zebra

We needed a custom-built platform of an irregular shape, and Toronto Carpentry Co. did a great job. Not only is the platform exactly what we needed and looks great, but Eoin and his coworker were punctual and incredibly efficient and careful. Even though they cut the plywood onsite, they kept the dust to a minimum and left our home as clean as they found it. We will definitely call on them again with any carpentry needs!

Eoin installed a custom solid wood door I ordered from him built to spec. He was very meticulous and thoughtful during the install, I would definitely hire him again for my own and clients' homes. Attaching an in-progress photo - Looks good even at dry fit stage 😊.

Fantastic, highly skilled work by Eoin. He was great to work with from start to finish. He communicated well at every part of the process and was transparent about pricing and choices. We love our new bookshelves.

Alastair Gordon

Eoin built a beautiful pair of custom matching bookshelves for our old century home in Toronto to accommodate hundreds of books and artifacts. The results exceeded our expectations. Eoin's design, materials, finishing and workmanship were the absolute best. He was also on schedule and the workplace was impeccable at the end of each day. I would not consider anyone other than Eoin for all our future fine carpentry. The delay in posting this review was because it took us months to load and categorize all the books. Thank you Eoin!

Dawn Jagroop

Eoin built and installed two custom cabinets in alcoves around our fireplace. He also built a shaker wall panel in our son's room. The quality of his work is exceptional. He is a very effective communicator, very kind, and was able to customise the project to our needs. We couldn't be happier and we get compliments every time someone comes over. We'll definitely be requesting some new projects from Eoin in the near future.

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 Toronto Carpentry Company 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?
