We needed a basement framer after the previous contractor we hired cancelled on us. PTR came in and did a great job. They were fast, clean, pleasant and professional. You will not go wrong with these guys.

Thank you for finding the time to write a review Nino, I'm glad I was able to help. Good luck with the rest of the project, call me if you need anything else. Merry Christmas, Paul.

We bought a bungalow in Leslieville with the intention of transforming the house in the two storey home. We first decided to handle all the contracting ourselves. After getting a architect friend to make some preliminary plans, we looked up a carpenter to kick start the project. We found PTR on Homestars. Based on his reviews we sent an email his way. That was the start of the best decision we ever made in regards to our project. Paul answered our email right away. I had never done this kind of project before so I had tons of questions for him. He answered ALL of them without any delay. He also immediately gave us a rough cost base don our preliminary plans. His estimate was dead on. The project started when Paul said it would. Paul took us by the hand during the entire process, and helped us make the right decisions. Paul worked with our other professionals, coordinated with our architect and inspector and never hesitated to take initiatives to help us out. Paul and his team finished the project as schedule. They did more then what we had agreed on. The total cost was dead on what he had roughly estimated plus a few more details we added along the way which he charged a minimum for. Even now, when his job is done and he got paid in full, Paul never hesitates to answer our question, recommend good help or check on us. PTR carpentry was the best decision we made. Period. I will recommend him to everyone and anyone who has carpentry needs.

Company Response:

Thanks for the business and these kind words. I hope the rest of the project goes well! Paul.

We recently had Paul and his crew come in to frame our basement. The crew was punctual, friendly and knowledgeable. Paul arranged to have materials arrive prior to commencing and finished the job in a timely manner; just as he said he would. Paul was very open and respectful of some last minute changes. We were very impressed with the finished product, we even received comments on how well the framing was done by other trades. Thank you again Paul for your hard work and dedication. Rob

Thanks for finding the time to put a review up Rob. I hope your basement has progressed well. Call me if you need anything else. Paul PTR.

Paul delivered as promised in terms of scope and quality. The job was done efficiently and priced just right. He and his worker arrived on the day he scheduled and the material delivered the day before. The job was done in one day. Other contractors cannot come close to Paul's knowledge, customer service, honesty, and professional worksmanship. Job well done!! Thank you PTR Mary & Robert

Paul, Jason and Marchant did an exceptional job building our front porch. They installed Trex deck boards, put on a skirt below which gave the porch nice curb appeal, they boxed out our posts for natural stone veneers, put in a door for access to storage underneath and finished it off with a trex railing. I was really impressed with Paul's problem solving skills and his abiity to see the 'big picture' of the porches design. For example, the architectural plans for the roof line and gable over the porch were not going to allow for much natural light in the master bedroom which is located over top of the porch so Paul suggested a few alterations and we were very happy he did. If you are looking for a top notch framer who is very reliable, hard working, affordable, who is a great communicator and who has a super team of carpenters then Paul Richardson and PTR carpentry is your best bet. Trust me you won't be disappointed. Thanks so much you guys for making our front porch beautiful. We get lots of compliments and it is so nice to sit out there and relax.

Thanks Wayne, I appreciate you taking the time to write a review. If you need anything else please call me.

Paul and his guys did an unbelievable job on our century home. They sheared the roof off, framed in 2 large dormers and seamlessly connected it all with the existing gables, they ripped up the floor and levelled it by sistering in new joists, framed in a bathroom and walk in closet. They worked very hard in some pretty hot conditions, and had to put up with plans changing on the fly as well as delays caused by me. He gave me great advice on situations when they arose, asked what I thought about how it was going and explained why things were being done the way they were. The most amazing part occurred after they had completed their part and other trades peoples arrived to quote on other parts, (insulators, roofers, drywallers, electricians etc,), without knowing who did the framing all complemented on how well the framing was done and a few asked who did it so they could try and work with him in the future. All thing considered you'd be lucky to have Paul and team work on your project, you will not be disappointed. I hope to work with them again on the next project.

Thanks for taking the time to write such a great review. It was a pleasure working for you and Christina and I am very happy to hear that the other trades were happy too. I look forward to hearing from you next year for phase 2. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need anything else before then. Paul.

Paul is an amazing, hard working carpenter who builds a piece of art out of wood. He is dedicated and very determined to finish all the work on time regardless of weather conditions. I've never seen someone being so passionate about the work like him. He built our deck in the scorching heat of 40 degrees, and didn't make an excuse to leave or to stop. Overall, if I could give an 11 out of 10, I would. I highly recommend Paul for any service that he presents.
