DZ Carpentry — Custom Millwork, Woodworking & General Contracting in Stratford, ON Since 1996
DZ Carpentry was founded in 1996 by Dave — a Stratford-born tradesperson who earned his carpenter’s licence in 1989 and turned that credential into an independent business built on craftsmanship over volume. Today Dave runs the shop alongside his wife Sheri and their three children, bringing a genuine family-business ethos to custom woodworking, millwork, and general contracting across the Stratford area.
Nearly 30 years of satisfied customers reflect Dave’s operating philosophy, which he summarizes plainly: “If it isn’t right, it’s wrong.” That standard drives every project — from a single custom shelf to a full renovation contract — and it’s the reason clients return and refer. DZ Carpentry’s custom millwork specialization puts them in a distinct category from most general renovation contractors: they design and build in-house, so the piece that arrives is the piece that was planned, not an off-the-shelf compromise.
