Quality That
Shows
☘ The framing behind the finish
A finished home is only as good as the framing behind it. For close to ten years, D.P.O. Carpentry has made Ottawa-area homes square, plumb, and ready for drywall, with back-framing done right the first time.

Getting the house
ready for drywall
A back-framer's main job is to get the house ready for the drywall stage, after all the other main trades have been through.
It is the strapping, the ceilings, the openings, the backing, and the dozens of details that decide how cleanly everything after it goes on. Done right, the finishers walk into a square, plumb, ready house. That is the difference a careful back-framer makes, and it is the standard on every D.P.O. job.

On The Job
A look at recent back-framing across the Ottawa area, from full builds to curved stairs.
Donavon O'Leary
I'm Donavon O'Leary, and I own D.P.O. Carpentry. I've been back-framing and framing for close to ten years now, and I've been part of a lot of great builds around the Ottawa area. My goal is simple: bring quality and passion back into the trade.
Right now it's a one-man shop, so everything you see is done by me. Some of the work I'm proudest of lately is curved walls and round stairs. Keep D.P.O. Carpentry in mind for your next build, and let me be your back-framing specialist. I promise, when you walk into a house I've done, you'll see Quality That Shows.
