I found Patrick from Great Wood Solutions 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 would hire Patrick again and probably will, as the reno in my house is far from over.
