About Us

J. Tomaz Contracting Inc. is a framing and carpentry contractor working across the GTA. We work for insurance restoration general contractors, custom home builders, and commercial construction managers. Our work covers fire and water restoration rebuilds, full-scope custom home framing, downtown Toronto commercial restoration, subdivision framing, and small structural repairs.

We are hiring an experienced restoration carpenter for our field crews.

The Work

Primarily insurance restoration, with new construction framing filling in around it. Most of it is on damaged or partially demolished structures — tying new framing into existing, matching original construction, and working out how the building was originally put together. You need to be able to work off drawings and figure things out on site.

- Keeping the work area clean, safe, and protected on occupied and active sites

What We Offer
