On each occasion his work has been top-notch and we have been thrilled with the results. His work ethic, character and attention to detail are exemplary and I would highly recommend him to anyone. **★★★★★ — Lisa Berry-Ashpole, Dec. 2018** > We cannot recommend David Jagt Carpentry enough. We were so impressed with David and Chandra every step of the way. They worked with us to create beautiful designs, making the most of the space we had. Every detail was thought of. The quality of David's workmanship is excellent. We have had so many compliments on David's work. > > We are extremely happy with the results and will definitely call David for projects in the future. **Comment from David Jagt Carpentry, "Where Ideas Meet Design":** > This was such a fun project to work on, thanks for the opportunity! **★★★★★ — patchdesign, Nov. 2018** > I worked with David and Chandra on a large wall unit for my living room. Right from the initial visit I knew they would be a great fit. > > I have done many renos and this, by far, was the most smooth. On time, budget and extremely clean - no “extra” surprises after the fact. Both, Chandra and David, were option to my MANY ideas and made them all work, from rustic beams, adjustments to cabinets and hardware. It all came together so amazing that I can’t even express enough how great the experience was. > > I look forward to working with them on future projects! > > Thanks again!!! **Comment from David Jagt Carpentry, "Where Ideas Meet Design":** > It was a pleasure working with you on this project too! Thanks for the kind words, they mean the world to us. **★★★★★ — Theresa and Darrin Cahill, Nov. 2016** > David Jagt Carpenty completely surpassed our expectations with regards to our back deck. > > Chandra is a fantastic designer who took to heart what we envisioned, and then David made our deck the envy of our neighbours. > > David was on time, on budget and left the work area clean every single day. I loved coming home every day to see what he had done. > > We have wanted a new deck since the day we purchased this house and finally, after 16 years, David and Chandra were able to make our back yard dreams comes true! We will be living in our back yard next summer and for many summers to come! > > Thanks so much. **Comment from David Jagt Carpentry, "Where Ideas Meet Design":** > Thank you for the opportunity to do such a fun project! Enjoy your new yard!! **★★★★★ — adamrambert, May 2016** > I hired David to install baseboard trim and floating / invisible shelves. He did an excellent job and was a pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — iankeaveny, Jan. 2016** > We just moved into a house and hired a number of contractors to deliver our extensive renovation projects - both for inside the house and also for the ‘landscaping’ > > Our daughter and husband had used David for work on their house and they were very happy with the results. It was a consequence of this association and looking at this work (plus other recommendations) that we engaged David to build a garden shed, a deck from our bedroom, and a very large privacy fence with multiple access gates – these were complex structures that required a lot of interaction and TLC. > > Not only were we delighted with the results but all these projects were completed within the estimated time-frame and within the estimated budget **★★★★★ — sandmagnew, Jan. 2016** > A year ago, David built a double-loft bed for our girls' bedroom. When we brought the idea to Dave, he took what we described we wanted and brought it to life. He made up the drawings and brought them to us for approval. He made suggestions that would work well and added great details and finishing touches that made it look even greater. He was more than willing to work within our budget and time frame. Since then, we've had many visitors to our home who have admired his craftsmanship and most comment that they have never seen anything like it. It is truly a "custom" build. > We also asked David to build a custom molding around the bay window at the front of our house. We showed him a picture of what we were envisioning. Again, he came up with a design that was just what we wanted and perfectly suited the look that we described to him. He used a newly-developed material that was well-suited to the project. He checked in with us frequently to make sure that we were happy with how it was turning out and took time to explain to us what he was working on and what he planned on doing. We are more than happy with the new look of our exterior and many of our neighbors have commented that they like what we had done. We will definitely be using David Jagt Carpentry again when other projects come up! **★★★★★ — nadine\_lalonde, Jan. 2016** > We hired David Jagt Carpentry to design and build an entry way built-in for us to have somewhere to hang coats and store items. They met with us and were very attentive to what we needed and were hoping for and came up with a beautiful design that was exactly what we were hoping for. They came in and did the work in a few trips, cleaned up after themselves and were very friendly. The end result is wonderful and we are so happy with it. We would definitely recommend them to anyone and hope to work with them again in the future. **★★★★★ — sarahdreamhouse, Jan. 2016** > We hired David Jagt Carpentry to design and build a Mudroom space within our existing home. He listened to our needs and ideas and came up with a design that would improve the space both aestheticly and functionally. The end result is a beautiful space packed with storage solutions that we are excited to use every day! > Dave is hard-working, efficient, and a true craftsman. His wife (and office manager) Chandra also shared great design ideas to finish the space, and kept the whole process easy with her efficient scheduling. We were happy with the quote we received, and they went the extra mile to work within our budget. If you are in need of a carpenter, you will want to call David Jagt Carpentry. We are happy to recommend this fine company to our family and friends! **★★★★★ — nicola8062, Jan. 2016** > Reliable, professional and quality. David is a highly skilled carpenter who takes the time to figure out exactly what you have in mind. He works with you to create custom solutions that go beyond what you expected. The quality of the work is amazing. David and his team are very tidy and respectful. We have recommended Jagt Carpentry to many friends who have been just as pleased. administrative organization and follow up is impeccable. David has built our custom bookshelf, dining room bench seating, front hall entryway and home office desk. He has also worked outside on building a wetbar and entrance gates. We live in an old historic mansion and trust no one other than David to build custom projects that feel like they were an original part of the house **★★★★★ — jenniferbrum, Jan. 2016** > Loved working with Dave! He designed a gorgeous deck for us! Dave is a respectful worker and very thorough. Each cut was made with precision and the finished product is beautiful! We couldn't be happier! We would definitely recommend Dave! **★★★★★ — juneingwersen, Jan. 2016** > We have hired David for a few projects around our home and i have recommended him to friends and family. He built a beautiful cedar arbor in our yard and a fence the following year. I have received many compliments about the quality of the workmanship and the lovely design. Most recently, he has modified an armoire that we have had for years which I loved and did not want to get rid of. It was just too big for our room and he did a beautiful job scaling it down and I love the result. I would highly recommend David's work! ## Ideabooks - [Launch Pad Inspiration](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/61411065/list/launch-pad-inspiration) — 23 ideas - [Sarah White](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/29609883/list/sarah-white) — 8 ideas - [Nicola Banks Built-in](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/28576094/list/nicola-banks-built-in) — 5 ideas - [Fireplace Built-ins](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/20014830/list/fireplace-built-ins) — 1 idea - [Outdoor Decoative Work](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/8909723/list/outdoor-decoative-work) — 2 ideas - [Trim Advanced](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/8876873/list/trim-advanced) — 8 ideas - [Built-in Cabinetry](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/8760524/list/built-in-cabinetry) — 7 ideas [See all 7 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/davidjagtcarpentry) ## Community Q&A **Q: Love this! What are the dimensions?** *(in Photo Questions)* I’d also like to know if the roof is twin walled polycarbonate or some other material. Gorgeous. A: Hello - I don't have the dimensions handy but the swim spa is basically a double hot tub size. The top covering is 10mm clear Polygal sourced from http://www.greenwallsolutions.com/multiwall-sheets/ **Q: What material do you think is used to enclose the top like this?** *(in Photo Questions)* What type of material was used to enclose the top of this pergola? A: The top covering is 10mm clear Polygal sourced from http://www.greenwallsolutions.com/multiwall-sheets/ **Q: window area coverings** *(in Photo Questions)* Perfect idea and helps to avoid full sun exposure. what are the window enclosure coverings? How do they operate? And are all the areas covered? A: The window coverings are 10mm clear Polygal sourced from http://www.greenwallsolutions.com/multiwall-sheets/ The windows are fully removable (held in place with butterfly clips) so in the summer the structure acts more like a pergola over the swim spa. In the winter, all areas are covered. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-14.*
