Build a New Deck and Fence

Thomas and Tom were great, and the kids are going to miss them, now that the deck is done! They kept the job site clean and safe for us during non-work hours. The job was completed on time and on budget. The new deck is amazing, clean, safe, and exactly as was requested. Would highly recommend Rawlinson Carpentry. Great work at a great price, overall my family is very satisfied.

Alina, Victor and Family

It was indeed a pleasure working with you guys on this project, and I am proud to say you were able to receive 'all you wanted, the clean professional workmanship you deserved....for less than the other quotes'. Together, we created a great working relationship achieving best results on both sides, it was great to work with you and the family Alina. And the yard is sooooo nice now I do hope you and the entire family get many years of enjoyment from all of the work, and yes lovely memories I would bet for your great kids, our biggest fans! God bless and have a wonderful balance of summer!

Deck and Fencing

We hired Rawlinson for a a re-design and build of our deck as well as for two fences and an additional gate. Tom is the most professional service provider that I have worked with. The quote process was completely transparent and the invoice paid matched the quote down to the penny. The work that was performed was of the highest quality and at a significant discount to the next closest quote. The work site was always left spotless and Tom and Tom even provided advice and help with non-carpentry related elements, including downspouts, lighting and gardening. Would highly recommend!

Jeff... I really appreciate you taking the time for this great review, thank you so much! I do hope you enjoy the newly transformed yard that is now properly defined with new fencing, and the very smart deck (and built 'for less' I may add), are both very nice indeed!
The very best wishes to you and your young family for a wonderful summer sir, all the best and thank you again!

Sideyard fence

Tom and Tom Jr are true professionals from the very first meeting until the last day of work.
Tom spent time with myself and the neighbor to explain every details and steps taken to complete the project. He also made sure that I was kept up to date with everything related to the project.
The workmanship itself is amazing. They take time in the middle to explain what is being done and why certain things need to be done. This is true professionalism!
The finished product is beautiful and the whole neighbourhood is impressed with the work.
I love the end product so much so that I have asked Tom and Tom Jr to come back to complete some more gates on the other side of the house. They certainly have a customer for life in me!

190 feet Fence

Tom and Tommy did an outstanding job in building my new backyard fence. The workmanship and attention to every detail by both Toms made my fence the nicest on my street. Tom fully engaged me in every step of the process right from the start of the fence design right down to every major construction phase of the fence. He patiently answered all my questions and provided me with some great advice to my overall landscaping project this Spring. Both Toms arrived every morning punctually, worked diligently throughout the day, cleaned up after each day, and build a great backyard fence that my wife and I are extremely impressed and happy with.
Overall, I highly recommend Tom and Tommy to build your fence or any wood carpentry services they provide. You will not be disappointed in their professionalism, customer service focus, and meticulous attention to detail in their carpentry skills. I also felt that I received great value from Tom’s price to the quality of fence that he delivered. I will certainly hire Tom again for any future deck or fencing work.

Serge...thank you SO MUCH for this very high review of our services and noting 'all we do'. Which is much more than 'just the carpentry work' as you kindly noted in great detail. And I am pleased to have transformed your yard and now also pleased to have our second review of 2015 and our first of the new SIENNA species of fencing now online for all our pending customers to see and read, so thanks again so much. It was a true pleasure to meet you and your lovely wife and I may add, a joy to serve you sir. On behalf of myself and Tom jr here's wishing you both the very best and hoping you have a wonderful summer.

Backyard Fence

Project was completed on time and on budget. Workmanship is superb. Tom and Tom arrived on schedule each morning. Close attention was paid to every detail of construction. They were also meticulous about cleaning up at the end of each day and on completion of the job. I am very pleased with the new fence and would highly recommend them to anyone.

Front walkway + deck stairs.

I am very happy and satisfied with both jobs that Tom and Tommy completed for me last month and would not hesitate to use them again (if I decide to replace my backyard fence next year...hopefully!). They were very helpful/informative, and their years of experience certainly made me feel very confident.
I had what we thought was a "flagstone" front walkway that was cracked/heaving and had become a hazard. We initially thought the stones could be re-used / re-laid, but that turned out not to be possible. There was no way to know this until they actually got into taking apart the concrete/stones. Tom contacted me right away with a solution and verrry reasonable quote to switch and now go with inter-locking stones. This would now also have to include hauling away the old concrete/stones. He and Tommy had already researched possible colour choices & availability. I met them first thing the next morning to make the decision - then was on my way to work! Painless! I wasn't stuck looking at hundreds of different colours and styles. It turned out beautifully! and I'm very happy with the choice we all made. It's certainly a great improvement to the house's overall curb-appeal! They will also be back to check on the walkway and re-sand between the stones where needed.
The other job was to replace the treads on my deck steps. This was a "last minute add on" to the original job but Tom was very accommodating and had no problem including this request. The stairs look amazing! Soooo happy to have straight cuts, square corners, and solid steps!! (Those steps had bothered me for years.) Their attention to detail is excellent!
Tom's years of experience/skill in both jobs were certainly demonstrated! He was very easy to work with and took time to answer and explain any questions/concerns I had. The jobs were done quickly and the clean-up was excellent, which is much appreciated!
Thanks very much.

back steps and gate

I was most pleased by the initial service offered by the company. There were a few bumps along the way, yet they were eventually smoothed out. I would recommend this company to people seeking a carpenter who is experienced.

Garage siding repair and painting

Tom and his helper were working on a deck project across the street from me and boy was I lucky to find them. They did an excellent job repairing the back of our garage; Tom's workmanship is top-notch and he kept me up-to-date and informed about the project throughout the job. Both are professional and friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others. I will definitely call Tom for my next job.

Fence repair

This is the 2nd job that Tom has done for us. As before we were very happy with his work. He was very knowledgable , professional and our fence is beautiful. He and Tom junior are very hard workers and no time is waisted. Tom is an excellent carpenter and we will be using him again. Both Toms and their team are a pleasure to work with. The place was spic and span when they left.

Egle thank you so much!

As mentioned in the review that appears now just below yours, it is a pleasure to receive a second glowing review from you! We do enjoy working at your beautiful home, and do hope you can now enjoy much more life out of that older fence that adorns your nice property. I wish you both the very best and thank you again so much.
