What to know about Small carpentry
Small carpentry covers the wood repairs and little builds that are too small for a carpentry contractor's calendar but too fiddly for most homeowners: a split piece of casing, a baseboard kicked loose, a door that drags on new flooring, a drawer that sticks every summer, a closet shelf that sags, a broken fence board or a few cracked deck boards. It's usually done by a handyman or a carpenter who takes short jobs, often several in one visit.

How to choose handymen in Woolwich
- Describe all the small jobs up front so the handyman can bring the right tools and give you a realistic estimate.
- Ask whether they charge by the hour, by the job or with a minimum visit fee.
- For anything involving wiring, gas or new plumbing, use a licensed trade instead of a general handyman.
- Check that they carry liability insurance, especially for work on ladders or on the exterior.
- Ask whether they supply materials or whether you should buy them ahead of time.
Questions to ask handymen before you hire
- Do you charge by the hour or by the job, and is there a minimum?
- Can you do all of the jobs on my list, or will some need a licensed trade?
- Will you bring the materials, or should I buy them?
- Are you insured if something is damaged while you're working?
- How do you handle it if a job takes longer than expected?
Small carpentry permits in Ontario
Some small carpentry work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
Licensing in Ontario
Electrical work
Only a Licensed Electrical Contractor can be hired to do electrical work in your home, and the work must be reported to ESA through a notification (permit). A building permit doesn’t replace it. Ask for the contractor’s ECRA/ESA licence number before you hire.

Common small carpentry questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
