Historic Restoration at the Benjamin Harrison House

As custom woodworkers, we are called onto many jobs that require our quality craftsmanship and problem-solving skills to create pieces for our clients that stores and catalogs can’t.

Custom Fireplace Mantels

Many homes come with their fireplace, and changing the look or function of a fireplace and mantel can be frustrating. Store-bought options may not fit the style of your home, or maybe you want your mantel to do more than just look pretty.

Custom Cabinetry: Creating the Storage Space You Need

For many storage needs, a store-bought cabinet is just not going to do the job. Homes have their own quirks and funky corners where a standard cabinet does not fit or look right, and it can be tough to find a cabinet that is in the style you want and has the space or functionality you require.
