Pricing & Estimates

Every project is different.

Pricing depends on factors such as project size, complexity, materials, site conditions, access, and scheduling requirements.

The best way to get accurate pricing is to contact us with details about your project.

In many cases, yes.

Following an initial conversation, we can often provide preliminary budget guidance before preparing a detailed estimate.

No.

CFC is a premium carpentry company.

Our clients choose us because they value quality craftsmanship, clear communication, accountability, and a professional experience. Our pricing reflects the systems, people, and standards required to consistently deliver those results.

Process & Scheduling

Start by reaching out through our website, email, or phone.

We’ll discuss your project, determine whether we’re a good fit, and schedule the next steps if appropriate.

Scheduling depends on project scope and current workload.

Smaller service carpentry projects are often scheduled within weeks, while larger project carpentry work may require additional planning and scheduling.

Yes.

Our estimates clearly outline project scope, assumptions, inclusions, and exclusions so expectations are clear from the beginning.

Every project benefits from structured communication.

Larger projects include a dedicated Production Manager and project communication channels that help keep clients, builders, designers, and trades informed throughout the process.

Quality & Protection

Yes.

Connolly Fine Carpentry carries $5 million in commercial liability insurance, which is approximately double the industry standard.

Yes.

All CFC projects are completed using WSIB-compliant crews.

Yes.

We provide a 2-year workmanship warranty on our work, which is double the industry norm.

Lead carpenters hold Red Seal certifications where applicable, Working at Heights certifications, and First Aid training. We also invest heavily in apprenticeship development and ongoing training.

Services

No.

Framing is one of our specialties, but we also provide:

Home additions
Deck construction
Trim and finish carpentry
Exterior carpentry
Window and door installation
Siding installation
Millwork installation
Service carpentry

Yes.

This is one of our biggest advantages.

Rather than coordinating multiple carpentry contractors, many clients choose CFC to handle framing through finish under one company.

Absolutely.

Many of our projects take place in Toronto’s established neighbourhoods where homes require careful integration of new construction with existing architectural details.

Homeowners’ Questions

Yes.

Unlike many premium carpentry companies, we have a dedicated Service Carpentry division specifically designed to help homeowners with smaller projects.

We understand that many projects take place while families are living in their homes.

Our crews prioritize cleanliness, professionalism, respect, and communication throughout the project.

Absolutely.

We regularly collaborate with architects, interior designers, builders, and homeowners to ensure projects run smoothly.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired Connolly Fine Carpentry for my backyard fence, deck, guard rails, and carport screen. The team did a beautiful job. They took a lot of care, paid attention to detail, and when issues came up as they inevitably do—they were handled respectfully and professionally.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We brought CF Carpentry in to finish a complicated handrail for a set of stairs in our house. Shawnessy was extremely helpful explaining the process and finding someone to help with our project almost immediately.

Colin's work was exceptional. He communicated with us clearly and asked questions to make sure we would be happy with the final result, which we love.

We will be using CF Carpentry again when we do our basement stairs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired CF Carpentry to install five interior doors in our condo. I highly recommend their services. Owner Dave took the time to explain to us the options before we entered into the service agreement. The carpenter Colin was extremely accommodating, thorough, and skilled. He was able to install each of the doors (each of which required a different creative solution for installation) while minimizing noise and dust which was a concern to us because we have a baby in the house. Office manager Shawnessy was always polite, efficient, and responsive. We are extremely happy with the results and with our experience in general.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dave at Connolly Fine Carpentry was fantastic at helping us through our home Reno project. All those on his team were amazing to work with and got the job done with a high level of expertise and finish. Dave was amazing at quoting the job range and sticking within in it. I always felt like he was honest and thorough in the attention he gave to our project. Would use him and his team again in the future.
