Generational craftsmanship, Bespoke finishes, Trusted Professionals

Steve and the Dovedale team were fantastic; skilled, punctual, polite and hard working. We were in daily consultations with Steve and he valued our input. He constantly thought of the smallest detail always with a keen eye on what the finished product would look like. He was meticulous. Steve also took the time to discuss costs and the options to keep our budget on track. He also allowed us to help with the daily clean up and purchases again in order to keep our costs down. The project was completed on time and on budget. Steve is very knowledgeable and he coordinated and worked well with all the sub-trades.

From a prompt reply to my inquiry to a speedy drop-in to review our small project, Steven was helpful, informative and truly fantastic to work with. He built our fireplace profile in record time and went above and beyond on the install. He communicated regularly and made our renovation exactly what we’d hoped for. I highly recommend Dovedale Carpentry.

As I have had a variety of jobs done, I have found them most professional, extremely efficient, thoughtful and their care and attention to detail is most appreciated. I am a most happy recipient and I strongly recommend Dovedale Carpentry.

The level of work and finishing is without doubt the best I have come across, and I continue to get comments about my new deck. The team is very reliable and stuck to the arranged schedules. I highly recommend Steve for any type of carpentry work. Deck build and interior finishing.

When I decided to take on the project of a new home as an owner-builder, I went looking for someone that I could work alongside with, and who had skills, expertise, and contacts with sub-trades that would complement my own. Steve came highly recommended, and he did not disappoint. He’s reliable, budget-conscious, and works to very high standards. Steve, along with everyone on his crew--together with all the sub-trades he recommended--brought pride-in-workmanship, and a positive and respectful energy to the jobsite.

He has really had our backs through the entire process. Not only is his work top notch, but he goes above and beyond to ensure our happiness. We have had many ups and downs with our trades people during this long process, but we have nothing but praise for Steve. We would definitely recommend Steve for your home Reno’s. Steves work is flawless, and he’s honest, trustworthy and accountable.

No job was beneath or beyond him - or too big or too small. He was fast, efficient, and organized, with an old-world attitude toward quality workmanship. On any task, he used the shortcuts, anticipated the pitfalls, and knew the code. He always showed up on time or called if something was going to make him late. His work ethic never flagged no matter the time or day. Whatever the challenge, he never took the easy way out or cut corners. And there was no blaring radio, no bad language, and he always cleaned up afterwards. Steve came with a sense of humour, was easy to get along with, and proved to be someone we could rely on and trust. Perhaps most importantly, he is someone we will line-up to employ again
