Ptr Carpentry Inc.

Another great job for me by PTR Carpentry. I have a very old garage in need of major repair but I also lots of competing priorities for my money this year! :) Paul came to look at the job. His experience means he could quickly suggest the right short-term solution to make the garage safe and useable. He meets the committments he makes - from arriving when planned, to completing the job on the time and for the budget agreed to, and as always exceeding the discussed spec's. The repairs look amazing. I am comfortable that the garage will last for the time I need to save to replace it. I am absolutely delighted! Thanks Paul and crew.

PTR recently framed a large home for us in the Lawrence Park area.
The word "professionalism" gets thrown around a lot in the contracting business - but after working with Paul and his team, it is safe to say that PTR is a professional company, doing professional level work.
We will be contacting them in the future.

We had the amazingly good fortune of finding PTR Carpentry's Paul through homestars. We had a very unique project of converting our split level home into a same level for wheelchair accessibility reason. It required the task of lowering half of the main floor by 2 feet to bring it to the level of the other half. Plus a lot of other complicated structural changes. The most challenging part being able to support the second floor before lowering and creating a new main floor with a seamless transition. In the process, also had to get rid of some patches of the foundation concrete blocks along the perimeter of the house while still maintaining the integrity of the structure. We also took away and moved around quite a few walls, some load bearing as well, on all floors and added a couple of dormers and also an elevator shaft. If not for a highly skilled framer, like Paul, it could have been a complete disaster. He had a thorough understanding of the engineer's drawings and patience and sensitivity towards our vision and needs for a wheelchair accessible house. Thanks to his remarkable skills, confidence, experience, a highly reassuring attitude and exceptional speed, the entire project was over in no time. He worked smoothly with other trades as well, handling even overall issues regarding the project. Our structural engineer and the Mississauga city inspector had nothing but high praises for Paul's quality work. They especially pointed out how the work was above and beyond the required building codes and how impeccably executed, not seen often. His working habits and ethics were exceptional and a pleasure to see in today's competitive construction industry. Him and his excellent crew were very reliable, always on time and worked hard nonstop. At the end of the day he would leave the site as clean and accessible for us as possible. Infact, he finished exactly on schedule and with so much more and extras that he absolutely did not have to include within his timeframe. His extensive knowledge and sound advice every step of the way was a lifesaver in our situation. We are very grateful and fortunate. Him and his crew were all the way professional, courteous, trustworthy and so very friendly and fun to work with. Our son especially enjoyed Paul's Facebook status updates with photos of our project, every so often. We simply can't say enough of good things about Paul's work and him as a person. We for sure HIGHLY RECOMMEND Paul and his crew. If it was possible we would rate him way over 10. After such a positive experience, without a doubt Paul will be our ONLY go to guy for our future projects. We also appreciate his honest and fair quotes. Thank you for everything Paul. Our home looks amazing thanks to you!

Paul and the crew from PTR Carpentry framed a third floor addition on a 100 year old home. It was a challenging project tying in the old and new structures. Paul's excellent problem solving skills and can-do attitude made it go smoothly and on time. I would highly recommend Paul and PTR Carpentry and look forward to working with them on my next project.

I have hired Paul Richardson of PTR Carpentry, as a result of him being referred to me, to help in the framing aspects of my construction. He has worked with me now on 3 projects.
I will hire Paul and his crew always, as he and his crew work together as a real team and the knowledge of carpentry is well understood by all.
Paul is a good communicator with me at start up of any job and continually through the project to ensure compliance with owners and building code requirements are met.
Paul conforms to a guaranteed start date and finish date and has always maintained it.
The quality of his workmanship is exceptional and far above minimum requirements. I have worked with many in the past and none compare with what he brings to the job site.
When we run into a situation where our new construction meets existing and we discover discrepancies to the matchup or when conditions dictate, we reframe to make it work; Paul is quick to come up with a solution that is sound and does not impede production.
I am always grateful to have Paul and crew on site and I am secure with the confidence he brings with him to site.

We just started dealing with Paul and the first two projects we did with him were nothing short of amazing. He's reliable, shows up when he says he'll show up and finishes on schedule as promised. Highly recommended.

PTR came highly recommended by my neighbour. I watched them build their dormers and was impressed. I knew when the time came for my double car garage project I would seek a quote from them.

I went with Paul and his crew based on their reputation as well as their price. And I wasn't disappointed. These guys are first class all the way. They were able to work from my designer's drawings with no problems, they showed up on schedule and completed the job on time as promised. All workers were courteous and respectful to my family and neighbours.

At one point I wanted to deviate from the original plan and add a window. Paul accommodated my changes with no questions asked and incorporated it perfectly into the design. All cuts and joints are perfect to the millimeter. I couldn't be happier with the finished product.

This is the guy to call.

Paul and his crew were by far the best tradespeople we had work on our total home renovation. Professional, great quality work, on time everyday, fair price and hard working while they were on the job site. I could not recommend anyone higher given the complete confidence and trust we built with Paul and his team. Will definitly use him again the next time we require carpentry services - he is the best. Period.

Thank you Paul for the great and timely work done of building the porch at my house in Brampton. I am glad I found you on Homestars because I am very satisfied with such professional service and I certainly recommend you to potential customers.

I phoned PTR Carpentry to diagnose and reinforce a poor roof framing job done by another framer. Paul came and assessed the new roof as a whole, looking at the how best to reinforce the new structure and loads with the existing structure. Not only did he properly reinforce the new roof, but he offered helpful and needed advice on other work outside his scope, taking into consideration Ontario Building Code regulations, fire and life safety, and finishing options. Him and his staff where very professional and friendly. PTR gave me peace of mind and support for making all the right decisions.
I would use PTR again and recommend them highly!
