Built-ins, mantels, benches, door and window trim and one-of-a-kind pieces made to fit your home.
Store-bought furniture and stock moldings rarely fit an older Nashville home. Walls are not quite square, ceilings slope and the style of the house asks for details you cannot buy. Custom carpentry builds exactly what the room needs, scribed to the walls and finished to match.
We build and install built-in bookcases, window seats, mantels, benches, mudroom lockers, pantry shelves, porch posts and more. We also repair rotted and damaged woodwork, matching profiles so the fix blends with the original.
We measure the actual room and scribe pieces to the wall, floor and ceiling, so built-ins sit tight without gaps. Nothing is forced into a space it was not made for.
We choose hardwood, plywood and solid stock for the job, with joinery that holds. Paint-grade and stain-grade work are both available, and finishes are sprayed or brushed for a smooth result.
Damaged trim, columns and millwork are repaired or replaced with matching profiles milled to fit, so a repair in an older house does not look like a patch.
Built-ins often need electrical for lighting, and a painter for the finish. We coordinate with the trades involved so the project flows and nothing is missed.
