Why choose Avenir Renovations?
Why hire an Avenir Rénovations carpenter?
A roofing project cannot be improvised. The framework is a structural element of the building, subjected to constant forces. It is essential to call on a professional to ensure stability and compliance with current standards.
A technical profession that requires expertise
The framework supports not only the weight of the covering but also loads related to snow, wind, and equipment (solar panels, skylights, insulation). The carpenter designs or adapts the structure to withstand all these constraints, taking into account the architectural specifics of the building.
A know-how at the crossroads of traditions and current standards
Our partner carpenters combine mastery of traditional joinery (mortise and tenon, dovetail, pegs) with the use of modern techniques such as pre-assembly in the workshop, load calculations using software, or the use of glued laminated timber for large spans.
A smooth coordination with other trades
The carpenter often intervenes before the covering and insulation, but also in the context of interior renovations (creation of a mezzanine, floors, wooden stairs). Our teams ensure smooth coordination with roofers, joiners, or plasterers to optimize the progress of the site.
Essential steps when a carpenter is involved
Three key steps to successfully carry out your carpentry work: hire a professional, assess their skills, and choose wisely.

FAQ – Carpenter and Roofing Work
What is the average lifespan of a wooden frame?
A well-designed and maintained frame can last 80 to 100 years. The choice of wood, protection against moisture, and the absence of excessive loads are crucial.
Can you convert an attic under a truss frame?
Yes, but this requires a transformation of the frame: partial replacement, reinforcements, or sometimes the creation of an independent load-bearing structure. Our carpenters assess feasibility and propose a suitable solution.
Does a carpenter intervene to create a dormer or a doghouse window?
Yes. Any opening in the roof (dormer, skylight, chimney exit) involves a modification of the frame. The carpenter designs and secures the framing, in conjunction with the roofer.
What is the best time to undertake frame work?
Frame work is possible year-round, but spring and summer offer better weather conditions for working outdoors. Early planning is recommended.
Is VAT reduced for frame work?
Yes, for a home over 10 years old, the work may benefit from a reduced rate of 6%, provided it is carried out by an approved company. We inform you about your eligibility and mention this rate in the quote.
