Carpentry for homes in Ritchie

Older cottages and bungalows are being joined by a wave of new infill houses and garden suites.

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.

Infill and garden suite projects need framing carpenters early and finish carpenters at the end.

Older detached garages often need new doors, framing repairs or a rebuilt side entry.

Older finished basements often get new trim, doors and built-ins as part of a refresh.

Common carpentry jobs

  • Decks, fences and stairs
  • Framing for basements and additions
  • Trim, baseboards and doors
  • Built-ins, shelving and closets

Seasonal tip for Edmonton
