Helen’s Big Renovation
When I bought my 25 year old townhouse it had the original fixtures, ceramics, cupboards, and mismatched wooden floors – in other words needed a complete refurbishing and updating. Richard promised to have it refurbished in 6 weeks. He planned, designed, found reliable contractors, supervised and installed himself the kitchen cupboards, sinks, bathroom vanities, and electrical fixtures. I was overwhelmed by the change in the place that I would call home. Richard is true to his word and very professional. A weekend carpenter that I highly recommend.

A New Fireplace
A Deck Roof
I needed a roof on my deck ASAP. Richard drew up the plans, ordered the material, built, shingled and put up siding in a weekend. I helped by moving lumber and taking orders. I’m not Ms Fix-It but it was a learning experience to work on a project that I now enjoy every day. He was fast, efficient and definitely great on my budget. I highly recommend Richard.

About The Weekend Carpenter
The Weekend Carpenter was established in 1994, is owned and operated by Richard Hrynkiw. The fundamental concept that Richard uses is what he refers to as his sweat equity program. The home owners become part of the project. This not only allows the home owner to feel a part of the work but also helps in keeping costs down. He can also complete the work on his own if that is the choice for the homeowner. Working with Richard is no ordinary experience; he will work with you to choose the most appropriate products that fit your budget.
Richard has been completing small projects from fences, decks and small home renovation projects. His projects are generally no longer than 1 to 3 days. Over the last 23 years he has gained a wide range of skills and experience. Richard works with homeowners to ensure the experience and work is satisfactory to both parties. He has helped well over 45 families see their projects finally finished.
Richard is married and has a busy house filled with dogs, a cat, and a lovely daughter. When he’s not working on client projects, Richard is renovating the family home from a tiny, dated 2 bedroom house to a light-filled, open-concept dream home. He also enjoys racing go-karts, training the newest member of the pack (Koda) and cheering at his daughter’s swim meets.
