I'm so happy with the external staircases that were expertly replaced by Oliver. Throughout the whole process, he was an excellent communicator, reliable and professional. He went above and beyond to provide a high quality finished product. I would highly recommend OB Carpentry to all!

Oliver did extensive post hail storm repairs for us in 2015. Oliver was experienced, efficient, a good communicator and the work was of high quality. Since then we have been happy to continue to engage Oliver for any carpentry jobs. Oliver has a flair for wood work and renovating traditional homes but also understands modern design and building standards. We recommend him highly.

OB did a super job on our kitchen and patio renovation. He extended the kitchen, added new period-correct windows, reused the old drawers with new fronts, created a beautiful new Laminex benchtop, did all the plumbing, and gave us the kitchen of our dreams, one which always gets favourable comment from people coming to the house for the first time. He turned the patio from a gloomy place into a light, bright, airy space that's been our refuge this past summer - turns out he's not just a great carpenter but an ace welder as well, restoring and repurposing some old railings that fitted the period
