What people have to say
Jessica Leann
These Carpenters are so good at what they do! They have made my family a beautiful wood bench for our kitchen table, shelves for our sons bedroom and a beautiful walnut coffee table to help raise money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. We couldn't be happier with everything they have made us and will continue to buy off them in the future. I HIGHLY recommend checking these guys out as well as there furniture and giving them a chance because I guarantee you, you won't be disappointed.

We cannot thank Josh enough for our gorgeous custom twin bookcases. They are the perfect balance of modern and rustic and turned out even more beautiful than we could have imagined! These guys bring your woodworking dreams to reality and are amazing to work with. Highly recommend Pura Vida for your next woodworking project.

We hired Pura Vida to build us a custom vanity. They exceeded our expectation!! It was exactly what I wanted. They installed it for us and everything. Even made sure every final detail was perfect.
When I was indecisive on the colour choice they dropped what they were doing to help me feel at ease. And even brought over tons of different staining samples.
They are amazing carpenters
All and all I can't wait to hire them again for my next project.

We recently worked with these amazing guys. They built us a custom coffee table back in the fall. We loved it so much we trusted them and there carpentry to build our family dinning room table, chairs and bench. These were just delivered today, in time for the holidays. They all turned out so beautifully! Amazing quality, sturdy wood furniture and a pleasure to work with. Can’t wait to think up another project!! Great local artisans!!! Amazing Furniture!!!

We hired Pura Vida to build our custom kitchen table. From past projects, we knew we wanted to go back to them again. From start to finish, they made sure we were involved for the minor details as well as the major details and we are so happy with the quality of work they did. I highly recommend these carpenters to build anything and everything you want because there is nothing they can't do. Love our new table!

We researched approximately 30 different companies around Guelph to build us a custom dining room table and bench. Pura Vida was our top choice based on craftsmanship\ artistry, design, knowledge, customer service, buying local, access to correct tools/shop, and fair price points. From start to finish, Josh exceeded our high expectations on the project and always kept there word (timelines, specifications, price etc.) The process and outcome were all amazing and we could not say enough-We are thrilled about our beautiful book-match dining room table/bench and would highly recommend them!!!
