Deck Build
I hired Tim Winges Carpentry Services (613 715-4550) to build a large deck attached to our home. He was there promptly every day and when he left for the day the jobsite was clean and tidy. He worked to arrange the permits, the pile installer and the excavator all without a hassle. This was all great but what I liked the most was his attention to detail. Nothing half done or sloppy. I also appreciated his design recommendations that made the finished product even better.
Very pleased overall and I would use him again with no hesitation

Deck Construction
We recently hired Tim to construct our new, composite deck and couldn’t be happier with the results! He is talented, meticulous and professional. We recommend him unreservedly.
Changed Window Into Wall, Put Up Curtain Rods and Shelves
Tim is an incredibly kind and thoughtful tradesman, who is knowledgeable and helpful in ensuring that your project is a success. He did a great job on each of the projects we asked of him, and would gladly use his services again!!
Tim Did a Variety of Work – Masonry, Woodwork, Insulating and Drywall
Tim is very knowledgeable about century homes and stays true to the style. He is meticulous with his repair work and very reliable. This is our third time utilizing his skill and I have a feeling that this “old gal” (the house) will probably need him again in the future and with no hesitation, we will call on him again.
Sunroom Enclosure and New Deck
Tim was a pleasure to deal with (he is very friendly and was great with our curious boys), he did an amazing job completing our sunroom and deck. We had some changes along the way and he made all the appropriate changes as we went along the process. His communication throughout the process was on point and we were never at a loss as to what was happening or when it was happening. He even came in under budget which was the cherry on the top. Would highly recommend him for your next project.
New 2nd Story Composite Deck with Stairs to Ground and Shed Underneath
There are two things one most wants from a Contractor – reliability and skill. Tim delivered fully on both. He was there every week day throughout the project, packing it in only if there was pouring rain. During the two inspections (Framing stage and Final) the Building Inspector commented that he wished all his inspections went this smoothly – zero faults found. We are loving our new deck and shed….they’re everything we had hoped for. Solidly built, looks fantastic and will provide us with multiple decades of enjoyment. Kudos to Tim on a job well done – highly recommended!
Complete Interior Demolish and Renovation of a 19th Century Log Home, with Total Redesign to Open Concept and Loft
Winges Carpentry was our first and really only choice for this project; after having had Tim come work on other smaller projects, we were impressed with his workmanship and attention to detail. Given his specialty on period houses and “real wood” construction we also thought he’d be the best fit for our 1860s log home rebuild project. He hired specialists when needed but otherwise did all the work himself and of course acted as general contractor. The work was difficult and long, but really, given the circumstances (COVID) went off without a major hitch at all. He bought all the materials early, which was great, given the scarcity of building materials and price hikes that happened after COVID got going, and that probably not only saved money but also delays. We are very happy with the result, and are now looking forward to a few more decades in this restored century home. Can’t wait to invite him and the other contractors he hired to a party once such things are allowed again.
Rebuild Front Deck
Tim rebuilt an aging front deck/stairs for us. I would certainly hire him again. He made every effort to minimize the cost for us, by carefully considering how to take advantage of the existing deck infrastructure. He was quick to get the job started and worked at it daily until it was complete. We are happy with the result. Obviously, a talented carpenter, the resulting deck appears very well constructed with lots of attention to every detail. Tim himself was very courteous and left the job site spotless.
Various Projects
Tim Winges has completed several home improvement projects for me. He is knowledgeable, reliable, trustworthy and an excellent craftsman. He approaches each project with care and attention to detail. This attention to detail takes a project from excellent to extraordinary. This is always the first person call for any project. I would highly recommend him.
Various Projects
Mr. Winges is the only Carpenter / Restorer we deal with now. He is thorough, honest, neat and up to date with the latest ideas and products. We describe our needs, give him the keys to the house and walk away. Tim also feeds our cat and the neighbours cat!
Various Projects
Tim was extremely professional throughout both renovation projects. My expectations were exceeded on both occasions and his attention to detail and craftsmanship were remarkable. I am looking forward to have Tim work on our other projects for our home.
