Carpentry for homes in Old Strathcona
Homes include heritage houses from the early 1900s, walk-ups and newer condos near the avenue.
Older homes have solid wood trim, doors and stairs worth saving, but floors are rarely level and walls rarely square, so a carpenter used to older houses makes a real difference.
Sloped lots near the valley often need tiered decks and stairs on proper footings to handle the grade.
Older detached garages often need new doors, framing repairs or a rebuilt side entry.
