Journeyman Carpentry

Dan and his team at Journeyman Carpentry recently completed a large renovation of our main level that included a small addition; removal of a load-bearing wall; relocation of electrical, plumbing and HVAC; a new kitchen in the newly opened up space; and new floors throughout. Dan was involved from the very early design concept stage, obtained the building permit (which included an appearance at the Committee of Adjustments to get several minor variances), and saw the project through to completion. He took the time to understand what our needs and preferences were so that he could provide solid advice on a whole range of topics including design and materials. Along the way, he was a very clear communicator and was always available to answer my myriad of questions by phone, email or text, with both patience and good humour. A project of this magnitude always involves some surprises along the way, but he kept me informed at all times, always had a range of options to solve the various problems and made good recommendations. We appreciated the high quality of his work as well as that of his crew, Doug and Ivan, and the subtrades with which he works. The project came in almost on time and almost on budget which was a minor miracle considering the breadth of the work done and we were kept informed of time and budget issues throughout the project so there were plenty of opportunities to course correct if we wished. Best of all, the final outcome far exceeded our expectations. We wouldn't hesitate to hire Journeyman Carpentry again and would highly recommend this company.

We undertook a large renovation project encompassing most of 2 stories of our house and coordinating multiple trades. Journeyman Carpentry was the glue that ensured all the details were completed. Their work was to an high standard, completed on time and on budget. Thanks to Daniel and Doug for their excellent work. We look forward to working with them again.

Daniel was very knowledgeable. He took his time to explain every detail about the project to us in terms that we would understand. He showcased passion and interest in our project. He also gave criticism concerning our design and gave valuable insights from his past experiences of what worked and what doesn't. We met up a number of times to go through each part of the design until we were satisfied. As the bathroom renovation started, it was very obvious that Daniel was very meticulous and methodical on the way he worked and his approach to the project. His work area was fairly tidy/clean and he answered any questions we had about the project as it progressed. The end result was a bathroom that we really enjoy using. Overall, we won't hesitate to hire Daniel again for another project.

We purchased an older home in Ottawa that was in poor condition. Dan & his team at Journeyman did an excellent job restoring and renovating our home. The quality of the work was excellent and the work was completed on a tight timeline. I would highly recommend them.
