Carpenter Rates in Ontario (2026)

A finish carpenter specializes in the visible, decorative woodwork that gives a home its polished look — trim, moulding, built-ins, and cabinetry. They typically charge more per hour but produce tighter, cleaner work. A rough carpenter (or framing carpenter) handles structural work — framing walls, installing headers, building subfloor. For renovation projects, you often need both: a rough carpenter to frame and a finish carpenter to complete the visible work. (Serving Scarborough, Ontario.)
