Ouellette Carpentry – Company History

Tom Ouellette first discovered his love for fine woodworking when he began to learn the craft of carpentry from his grandfather. His grandfather was not a tradesman, but had a great interest in making things out of wood. At the young age of 7 years, Tom was already helping his grandfather by showing him how to correctly insert the wood into the saw.

He continued on through summer jobs during his school years, enjoying the influence of his future father-in-law, and in 1974 formed Ouellette Carpentry, Inc. He simply announced to some general contractors that the excellent services of Ouellette Carpentry were available. They assembled the talent, and began cutting and fitting.

Over the years, Ouellette Carpentry has attracted outstanding artisans who have either brought old-world skills to the company, or were themselves second-generation carpenters. Combined with Tom Ouellette's passion for excellence, they have applied their extensive  knowledge and meticulous approach with tremendous success making the company what it is today. It is a company set apart from the rest by its dedication to fine craftsmanship.

Today, Ouellette Carpentry is a core group of 6-10 people, and is expanded as required by the scope of work of the project. Tom personally oversees every detail of his projects, and brings a level of accountability to bear that is seldom found in this day and age.

“We're neat. We're considerate. If the operations are ongoing, we try not to disturb the surroundings (home or business). We like to maintain a schedule. We're accountable. We take pride in working well with all other trades. WE LOVE OUR WORK!

After 30 years I am still happiest when surrounded by a pile of sawdust.”
