Carpenter & Renovation Contractor in Carleton Place and Beckwith

Zanini Renovations keeps its office in Carleton Place. Owner Jonas Zanini has run the business since 2020. We are fully insured, we back our carpentry with a one-year workmanship warranty, and we take kitchen remodels and commercial work as well as fences, decks, basements, and trim. Call (647) 834-7570 for a free written estimate on a home in town, in Beckwith Township, or in Franktown.

Carleton Place sits on the Mississippi River at the Lanark County edge of Ottawa. From the office we work on in-town streets, river lots, and rural Beckwith addresses that use a Carleton Place mailing address. Franktown is part of that same local area: we quote and build there the same way we do in town.

Services we do in Carleton Place, Beckwith and Franktown

Fences, exterior stairs, basement repairs, and finish carpentry are the work we do most often around Carleton Place, Beckwith, and Franktown.

Fences and gates

We have built privacy fences on shared lot lines, a side-yard fence with working gates, and a stretch where three neighbouring yards needed fencing together. Gates get braced so they hang square. We locate utilities before digging post holes and set posts for frost so the fence stays true through winter.

Exterior stairs, landings and decks

We replace worn exterior stairs and build landings that connect a door to the yard. Deck stairs and landings are framed as carpentry, fitted to the house and the grade. If the house already has a deck, we can add stairs that match the existing structure.

Basements, trim and fireplace surrounds

Inside town we have rebuilt a basement after flooding—framing, drywall, flooring, and trim—while qualified trades handled electrical and plumbing. We also build fireplace surrounds and niches when a living room needs a painted, site-built finish. Finish carpentry in older Carleton Place houses often means scribing trim to floors and plaster that are no longer level.

Permits and local notes

Which office issues a building permit depends on the property line, not on the mailing address on your bills. Work inside the Town of Carleton Place goes through the Town building department. Work in Beckwith Township, including Franktown, goes through Beckwith Township. Both offices are linked below. Height limits and setbacks belong to those municipalities, so check with them—or send us the address and we will help you identify the right office.

Older in-town houses often have out-of-square walls, patched plaster, and fences that follow a slope between close neighbours. Lots farther out in Beckwith more often need privacy screening, a gate for dogs, or stairs from a deck into a larger yard. We plan the carpentry around the house in front of us.

When a renovation needs electrical or plumbing, we coordinate with qualified trades. Kitchen remodels and small commercial carpentry follow the same split: we own the woodwork, and the written estimate names anything that sits with those trades.

Questions about work in Carleton Place

Do you charge a travel fee in Carleton Place or Beckwith?

Carleton Place is our home base, and Beckwith and Franktown are treated as local work from that office. The estimate states the carpentry scope in Canadian dollars. If a site visit is needed to measure, we say so up front.

Which office handles building permits for my address, the Town or Beckwith Township?

Use the Town of Carleton Place building department for addresses inside the town boundary. Use Beckwith Township for Beckwith and Franktown addresses. If you are unsure which side of the line you sit on, check with those offices or send us the address and we will help you identify the right one before you apply.

Do you work in Franktown as well as in town?

Yes. Franktown is part of the Carleton Place and Beckwith service area on this page. We quote and build there the same way we do in town: fully insured carpentry, a one-year workmanship warranty, and qualified trades for electrical or plumbing when the job needs them.
