Architectural Carpentry

Combining historical authenticity with practical craftsmanship to create a tailored woodwork that preserves your home’s character and elevates daily life.

General sanding and cleaning, patching holes and damaged wood, then repainting or applying two coats of sealer, depending on the existing finish.

How it’s priced Varies based on existing condition

How it's priced Varies depending on project complexity and materials used

The Work, and How It Is Done

From matching historic profiles to finding storage solutions for everyday items. The little details matter and make up the whole into a truly finished home.

Heritage Restoration

Profile Replication & Run-to-Match

Millwork & Trim

Taking a section off surviving original trim and replicating a new piece that can match it perfectly — or at least work in harmony with it.

Face-Frame Casework

Built-Ins & Cabinetry

Built on site to fit your walls — which are never perfectly square. Shelves and drawers are cut to the room, not ordered to a catalogue size and shimmed in.

Traditional timber frame structure with posts, braces, tie beams and rafters Timber Framing

Square Rule Layout

Heavy Timber

Laying out joinery from a reference face rather than the timber's irregular outside, so rough-sawn stock still assembles true.

Sash & Door Repair

Doors & Windows

Dutchman repairs and splices that save the original member instead of replacing it — the difference between a heritage repair and a modern substitute.

Historic complete porch design with columns, balustrades, steps and stone base Porches & Exterior

Porch Columns & Balustrade

Exterior Millwork

Rebuilding Victorian posts, rails and skirting in species that survive an Ottawa freeze-thaw cycle, detailed to shed water the way the original was designed to.

Hand-drawn fireplace elevation with mantel, recessed shelving and stone surround Custom Built-Ins

Panelling, Trim & Mouldings

Interior Finish

Wainscoting, crown moulding, baseboards, casing, chair rail and wall panelling. Finish work is judged at the joints, so that is where the time goes.

What Your Project Involves

No carpenter can price this kind of work from a web form, and any site that gives you a number is guessing. What this will do is show you what the job actually involves — and what Diego still has to check on site.

Handles, closet rods, and similar hardware.
We can work with you if you have an idea and require design services. An additional $150 initial consultation and design charge may be required and counts toward the final balance.
Your email draft will remind you to attach the selected pictures.

Diego confirms on site
