I had some uneveness in my floors on my main and second floors. On short notice and with Paul's help, he determined that it was due to the fact that we were lacking support in our basement columns. He added new concrete footings and steel columns and jacked up my structure slowly to ensure that the beams were gradually leveled without causing too much damage. I found Paul very honest and reasonable and would definitely call on him again for any future work.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review Jerry. If you need anything else please do not hesitate to contact me.

Paul and his company provide a very great service. I did a wall opening and floor leveling which implied to set a post to hold the upper floor. I am very satisfied with his work, his way of working and how explains every detail and problem. Definitely I would recommend to hire him as Carpenter. He is great.

Company Response:

Thanks for the kind words Pablo. Call me if you need anything else

This was my second time having Paul do work on my house. Paul and his helper did an excellent job removing my OSB sub floor and replacing it with plywood. The job required the stair railing removal and partition wall removal. The joists were blocked, the plywood cut and installed and the partition walls re-built. All went well and I am very happy with Paul's work again. Thanks Paul!

Company Response:

Thanks again for the review Dave, its much appreciated.

We found Paul on HomeStars and were impressed by his many great reviews. After our initial conversations with him, we found Paul to be professional, knowledgeable and very approachable. The initial scope of work included leveling and resheeting parts of the main floor, restructuring areas where walls had been removed to create a more open concept layout and framing new walls in one portion of the home. Even though the scope of work increased significantly as we found more defects in the home, as well as some changes we made, Paul was able to complete the job with just two days extra work and at a very reasonable price. Also, Paul and his crew left the house spotless and ready for the next trades to start their work. Working with Paul was honestly one of the best experiences we have had with a contractor. He was always available to answer any of our questions, offered practical solutions and strategies and is a pleasure to work with. We are looking forward to having Paul back for Phase 2 of our reno and have already recommended him highly to family and friends. Thanks Paul!

Thanks for taking the time to write a review Diana. I am happy I could accommodate your needs. Good luck with the rest of the project.

I first came to know Paul at PTR Carpentry by observing him working at my neighbour’s house outside on the deck in January. Everything about the job impressed me as I watched him as did a brief conversation I had with him. When I talked to my neighbor about the work, she said that she was thrilled as usual and that PTR Carpentry had done already four or five jobs for her. Knowing that every job was different, I also checked him out on Homestars, Better Business Bureau, etc, etc. Paul is as fantastic as my neighbour and the other reviews on Homestars indicate. Everything about my job (full demo and reframe of the main floor of a house) was completed as promised, on time, and on budget. Paul and his crew are professional and wonderful to deal with. When changes have to be made, as seems to happen with any renovation, he had great solutions ready. When my driveway was damaged (not by PTR carpentry) by the dumpster company he said that he would deal with the company to have it fixed for no cost or effort to me. The other way I checked out Paul’s work after it was complete was by asking each of the trades going forward (flooring company, drywall contractor, plumber and electrician) how good a job the reframe was. All of them said it was one of the best reframe jobs they had ever seen, that it made their job easier, saved them time and likely saved me money! I would strongly recommend Paul and PTR Carpentry. I have lots more work to do on my house and I will be calling Paul again and again!

Thanks for the great review Joanne and I look forward to working with you in the future

Paul and his assistant were great. They completed frame, roof, and walls for a garage fast and with an excellent craftsmanship. Paul’s attention to last minute changes was excellent. I greatly appreciate Paul’s advice and suggestions in making the garage last longer. I would absolutely recommend Paul to anyone. Thank you Paul, Excellent work! George.

Company Response:

Thanks for the kind words George. I was glad I could help.

Paul and his crew are simply amazing - fast, tidy, smart, fun (!), with attention to details and rock-solid conscience. His guidance before and during the work was always friendly, clear and right. And the execution was just as great - the project was on time, on budget and perfectly executed. To those who've had issues with contractors before, you know that trust is one of the most important factors. I'm glad to say that Paul fully deserves to be trusted, both personally and for the quality of his work. I would absolutely recommend Paul to anyone, and will call on him again for future work. Paul: you have my number and feel free to give it to any prospective clients who'd like a reference. And to prospective clients reading this review: book Paul early and enjoy the results!

Company Response:

It was a pleasure working with you. I hope the finishing process goes well. Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Paul.

Paul offered a fair price. Our project was on a tight schedule and Paul was very understanding and helpful. His worker began and completed the project on time and with excellent craftsmanship. I will be using their services again for other projects in the house.

Company Response:

Thanks for the review Sophia. I am glad I could accommodate your time line.

Paul was hired by my general contractor to prepare the framing for our first storey/basement addition in April. It was nice to find a skilled contractor who shows up early, works hard and finishes the project on time and on budget. He had instant solutions to a couple of last minute changes. Paul is a professional and has a great sense of humor. I will definitely use Paul's services on any future projects

Company Response:

Thanks for the review and the great hospitality Mike. The addition looks great.

I would give Paul an 11 rating if I could. I am acting as a general contractor for a significant second storey addition to my own house. I have done this before and I know the demolition and framing is the most critical trade. I was pleased to find PTR on Homestars. He knows his stuff, he communicates well and he is able to deal with unexpected challenges during the job. Pricing and quality are excellent Even before the job started Paul added value by seeing opportunities and issues from the plans we presented. Also, during the job, he can add value to what is in the plans. His whole team was a pleasure to deal with - very conscientious. He and his team have a great pace to their work, always moving the job along, overcoming challenges. We delayed our project start by a month so that we could use him and I am so glad we did.

Company Response:

Thank you for writing this great review Phil. I hope you and Janet enjoy the new added space. Feel free to call me if you need anything else.
