In 2013, Patrick was helping me with my home reno and he impressed me with his punctuality and carpenter skills. I hired him again this year to demolish kitchen shelves and create a powder room in their place on the first floor of my house. I’m very happy with the results.
First of all, Patrick is very resourceful. When he was doing the floor in the powder room, he kept a couple of original tiles to fill the gaps from the removed shelves in the kitchen floor. ,
Patrick keeps the client’s interests in mind. I originally thought I will only have a place for the toilet, but he found out a way to put in a small sink as well. He also suggested a way to build in shelves into the new space, bringing back some of the kitchen storage space we lost when we demolished the original shelves.
Patrick is very punctual. He gave me the exact timelines for his work, and kept true to them. He also has enough experience to roughly estimate the time needed for other specialists (plumber, electrician) to do their work. This helped me greatly with the project planning.
And last, but not least, Patrick is very personable and friendly. It’s a pleasure to work with him. I would definitely hire him again and probably will. I’m eyeing my backyard porch next.
I found Patrick from Great Wood Solutions here on handycanadians - he replied to the project I posted. I picked him out of 4 contractors I met, and I am glad I did. His quote was very detailed, stating every step he was going to be taking to complete the tasks.
Patrick did several jobs at my house. He demolished a wall between two rooms (this was a tricky one, as the stairs seemed to be sitting on the wall), installed a window in the kitchen (also not a simple job, the opening in the wall had to be cut bigger and framed) and installed the stove hood with the vent outside. He also cut the hole for bathroom vent when the roofers refused to do it. But it's a separate story, see my review for Avenue Road Roofing.
I am very happy with the results so far. Patrick is very punctual and he sticks to the timelines he set up. He also left the site sparkly clean, taking away his own construction waste and some of ours, for which I'm very grateful. Patrick is not the cheapest guy on the market, but he does a very good job and is very reliable. He was also available almost immediately, while other carpenters were booked up the end of the month.
I'm attaching pics of the wall before and after.
My husband and I were very impressed with Patricks work. He is a true professional and his work is extremely high quality. I only had to tell him once what work needed to be done and he would remember every detail. There was some unconventional work that we needed done ( the installation of a baby gate on the deck). Patrick came up with a brilliant idea of how to do it. Thank you very much patrick ! We will call you for sure next time we need work done. Give Patrick a chance- you will not be disappointed :)
Patrick finished our basement, doing framing, drywall, finishing touches. His quote was competitive and he completed the work on time and on budget. Patrick was there every day until the work was completed. He also brought in an electrician and a plumber for specific parts of the renovation.
It was a pleasure working with Patrick and we highly recommend him.

An overdue review of Patrick & Great Wood Solutions. Patrick came in to finish up a bungled kitchen renovation project we posted at Handy Canadian. The project used a lot of unusual materials that he sourced out, and made finishing the kitchen easy for us. We were quite thrilled with his openness, communication and problem solving and would not hesitate to use him again, or recommend him to others.
Patrick (Great Wood Solutions) did a complete renovation of our kitchen and adjoining family room including wall and bulkheads removal, electrical, plumbing, painting, flooring etc. He promised a start date and a completion date which I considered very optimistic. In spite of some significant structural complications that could not have been foreseen, he did it all on schedule and professionally.
His price was not the lowest but extremely competitive (not even close to the highest) but most important, he proved to be honest, reliable and a complete gentleman in every respect.
Patrick says what he will do and does what he says. It was a complete pleasure dealing with him and I would highly recommend Great Wood Solutions.
Patrick did a great job on the basement windows the i needed installed. I worked hard and even worked in the rain to make sure the job got done. I would recommend Great Wood Solutions to anyone needing work done.
