Work Experience
Home Renovator/ Cabinet maker
Montréal, QC February 2019 to March 2021AEC / DEP or Skilled Trade Certificate
We worked in a team and did renovation projects. I would lead the team to renovate houses or parts of houses. We designed and made custom cabinets, cupboards, closets, stairs, railings, decks, flooring, etc. and installed them. At this time, I was also going to college and refreshing my cabinet-making skills.
Skills
Trim cabinet
A trim cabinet is a small storage unit used to organize and store trim molding pieces, which are decorative strips installed along walls, ceilings, or furniture edges. It helps keep different sizes and styles of trim easily accessible and protected from damage. This cabinet is commonly used by carpenters and contractors for efficient workflow.
Carpentry
Carpentry is a skilled trade involving the cutting, shaping, and installation of building materials, primarily wood, to construct or repair structures such as houses, furniture, and other wooden items. Carpenters use tools to measure, cut, and join materials, working from blueprints to create functional and structural elements in construction. It is a craft that dates back to ancient times and is essential for building and maintaining various types of wooden structures
Tiling
Tiling is the process of covering surfaces such as floors, walls, and roofs with tiles, which are thin, flat slabs made from materials like ceramic, stone, glass, or porcelain. Tiles are used both for decorative purposes and for their durability and water resistance, especially in areas exposed to moisture like bathrooms and kitchens. Tiling is a common construction technique that enhances both the functionality and aesthetics of a space.
Backsplash
A backsplash is a protective surface installed on the wall between a kitchen countertop and the upper cabinets, primarily designed to protect the wall from water, grease, and food splashes. It serves both a functional and aesthetic purpose by making cleaning easier and adding style to the kitchen. Common materials for backsplashes include ceramic tiles, natural stone, glass, and stainless steel, which combine durability with decorative appeal.
Drywall
Drywall, also known as gypsum board or plasterboard, is a construction material used to create interior walls and ceilings. It consists of a core of gypsum plaster sandwiched between two sheets of heavy paper, making it lightweight and easy to install. Drywall is favored for its fire resistance, cost-effectiveness, and versatility in creating smooth finished surfaces, partitions, and decorative architectural elements.
Remodeling
Remodeling is the process of improving or updating an existing space, such as a kitchen or bathroom, by making structural, aesthetic, or functional changes. It typically involves planning, demolition, making structural changes, installing new fixtures, and finishing details to create a refreshed and often more efficient or modern space. Remodeling projects can range from minor updates to complete overhauls depending on the desired outcome and budget.
Woodworking
Woodworking is the craft and skill of shaping, cutting, and assembling wood to create functional or decorative items such as furniture, cabinets, and architectural details. It involves techniques like milling, jointing, planing, routing, gluing, clamping, sanding, and finishing. Woodworking is essential in kitchen remodeling, especially for building custom cabinets and other wood fixtures that enhance design and functionality.
Sketchup
SketchUp is a popular 3D design software widely used by woodworkers and carpenters to create detailed woodworking projects and furniture designs. It allows users to model pieces in a virtual space with tools for shaping, measuring, and assembling wood components before actual construction. SketchUp offers features such as realistic material application, exploded views, cut lists, and integration with extensions that enhance productivity and precision in woodworking planning.
flooring
Flooring refers to the material used to cover the floor surfaces in rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms, chosen for both aesthetic appeal and practical durability. Common flooring types for high-moisture areas include ceramic or porcelain tiles, vinyl planks or sheets, laminate, and engineered hardwood, all designed to resist water damage while offering style and comfort. The choice of flooring significantly impacts the room’s durability, ease of cleaning, and overall look, with materials selected based on resistance to moisture, wear, and ease of maintenance.
Additional Information
I prefer to work project-based and have all the required tools for installation. I can install the cabinets accepting all the responsibilities that the work will be done clean and effectively with no defects. Resizing and fitting the cabinets into the kitchen is also my specialty.
