Load Bearing wall removal and steel post and beam installation, subfloor sheathing, framing and more
First I will say that I did numerous renovations in the past and I’ve met many tradesmen, but Paul from PTR carpentry is in a league of its own.
I found Paul on Homestars while looking for professionals to remove a load bearing wall and installing a steel post and beam according to a structural engineer design.
Paul gave me an approximate quote over the phone because I did not have access to the property. The minute I got the key we met and he confirmed his initial quote.
Immediately he made a great impression so I decided to use his services for sheathing the subfloor, shrinking the size of my kitchen window and removing a staircase leading to the basement and closing the floor.
Paul estimated that the job will take 4 days to complete. While sheathing the floors we encountered many issues with leveling the plywood, but Paul did an amazing job and did whatever he could to level my floor. It worked out great. During day 3 I asked Paul to build a frame for a washroom, a closet, and a small wall in my main floor.
Knowing Paul I knew he will charge me a reasonable price for the extra work I asked for. At the end of day 4, after the work was done, I asked Paul how much he wants for the extra work, his reply was $0!!!! He said that he finished the entire job within the 4 days that he planned so he won't charge me anything for the extra work, even though he had to buy more materials! I was blown away. Not to mention, he did a high-quality work, dealt with the city inspector, and left the place clean.
On a personal note- thank you Paul for a great work, it was amazing watching you and the crew work, I have learned a lot.
