Possibly the best framers around.
If your framing is bang on, everything else becomes more seamless and cost efficient.
That is what I got with PTR. I had numerous compliments from other trades on how good the framing was. Windows were dead centre, studs were exactly every 16". Even the city inspectors were impressed.
They made easy work of framing my home (which had a seminal complicated roof line.
PTR stayed in communication, helped me order materials to keep the job moving, and worked through some really poor winter /spring weather.

And their prices were inline with everyone else, but with better service.

I would not hesitate to recommend them

Our original framers bailed on us leaving us without bulkheads a week before our drywall was scheduled to start. I reached out to Paul at PTR with an SOS on a Friday night. He responded right away and immediately lined up a couple of his guys to help me out before my drywall deadline. The two guys showed up as scheduled, on time. They were fast, efficient framers and polite and respectful while on the job.

The next day Paul reached out to me to make sure everything went well and to make sure I was satisfied with the work. Super customer service.

I'll be hiring PTR in a few years when we're ready for our 3rd floor expansion. I've had a lot of trouble finding good, reliable framers. This company is fabulous!

We were in need of a framing crew for a difficult multi-level split custom home build, as our long-time framer retired, and his crew went their separate ways. I found PTR Carpentry via. a quick google search, followed by reading these very comments, and lastly an Instagram follow up. From that point forward, it was smooth sailing. Paul and his crew were a joy to work with - they started when they said they would, were on site everyday, finished their obligation on time, and handed the site back to us clean from all debris with remaining lumber neatly stacked.
Finding someone to hold true to their commitment from start to finish, along with providing exceptional work quality at a reasonable price is not easy, and they do all of this with ease!

If you’re on here looking for a framer like I was, no need to keep looking – the search ends with these guys!

Thanks again,
Dave

We have hired PTR for our home addition project in July. As home owners, this is our very first project. We knew the importance of having a good framing team. After talking to many framing companies, we had decided to give the job to Paul, which is the besr decision we have made.

We had no clue or knowledge about structure and framing. Working with Paul, we were comfortable to give the entire work to him and had more time to plan for our next steps. We did not have to worry that something would go wrong with them.

Matt and Paul are very open to communicate with us about any structural issue in the house since we have an old fundation. They gave us headsup about what would happen and solutions to solve problems.

They are patient to any questions we ask and replied our text messages fast. They really do their best to make clients happy. Yes, after dealing with many trades for this project, we can tell who really cares.

We will strongly recommend them to our friends and any home owners who are new to construction. Working with PTR, you really won't have headach or waste your time to worry about how your house' frame will be done.

Paul was wonderful, caring and exceeded in customer service. His crew consisted of Matt, Jay, Mike, Nate, Steve and another Mike. Well all I heard for weeks was Matt, Matt, Matt. Matt and the others were and are amazing carpenters. Joe (my husband) is so honored to have this wonderful crew work on our home. Detailed, perfectionists and a true love for their craft. Work was done in a timely, organized and efficient manner. Thank you to the team for all your hard work! Joe and Lisa

I was pointed in PTR's direction by a friend who hires them frequently for custom homes. He set lofty expectations and Paul and his crew met them overwhelmingly. His prices were very reasonable and his crew met our very tight timeline with no problem. Even the hand cut roof was done to perfection. Every little detail was thought of. The day after they completed the framing we had our roofer do a site visit and even he was amazed at the quality of work.

Paul was very personable as well as his crew. He even took the time to aide us in some design elements and was very helpful troubleshooting issues.

Will hire again with pleasure!

My wife and I almost never do reviews, probably this is our first one, however this time we were so impressed by the professionalism, speed and skills of Paul Richardson and his team ( PTR Carpentry ) that we think it is worth writing a word of appreciation and helping other homeowners complete their projects by using a trustworthy contractor, which we can tell from our own experience it is hard to find.

The project :

8ft high deck attached to a raised bungalow - approx. 400 sq. feet including stairs with a landing platform in the middle ( 6 steps + 5 steps = total 11 steps ).

Structure - Pressure Treated
Decking + railing : Cedar
Waterproofing under decking created another space below the deck of more than 200 sq. ft.

Project was completed in time and we also appreciated great customer service from Paul and his employees.
They were always starting work at the same time every day and did not leave the site until the work for that day was completed !

Many thanks Paul and team !

Much appreciated,

Stefan

We contacted Paul to do interior framing on one of our projects. The framing included full basement, removing/adding walls on a main floor to reconfigure a kitchen and bathroom as well as adding and reworking some walls on the second floor to accommodate a new bedroom, master bath and closet. Paul and his crew were excellent. They handled the entire project with total ease. Even when our client asked for changes to already framed walls, Paul and his crew completed everything with total professionalism. They were reasonably priced and completed the project on time. To say we are satisfied with their work would be an understatement. Put simply, they were fantastic!

We were in need of a carpenter to complete a second floor addition,
Paul from PTR Carpentry was able to work with our schedule to complete the work on-time.
Paul and his crew were professional and knowledgeable about all aspects of the rebuild. Paul also managed to save us money,
by catching a design problem regarding the roof trusses that were already order.
Paul and his crew are friendly, professional and true to his word.
If anyone would ask me what carpentry crew to use, I would simply say PTR Carpentry....professional...experts....knowledgeable...and
true to his word.
Thank you
Paul.

I found Paul at PTR Carpentry INC on the Homestars website and after reading the outstanding reviews, didn't hesitate to contact him. This review is no different. Paul was able to do what other contractors couldn't, building us a new large dormer window for an upstairs bedroom. Paul and his crew member Steve were professional, reliable, punctual and the quality of workmanship was excellent. From start to finish the job moved quickly and smoothly. I couldn't be happier with the work and would highly recommend Paul for your next project. Thank you Paul.
