Franklin, TN · Custom carpentryCustom Carpentry in Franklin, TN

Custom carpentry is where a house gets its character. A staircase with a solid newel and well-proportioned balusters, a bookcase scribed tight to an uneven wall, casing and baseboard that match from room to room, a porch with turned spindles and brackets that suit the house. None of it comes in a box. It is measured on site, built to fit and installed so the joints stay tight as the seasons change.

Franklin homes ask for very different carpentry. In a historic house near downtown, the work is often matching what is already there: reproducing a trim profile, rebuilding a porch railing or replacing a damaged bracket so the repair disappears. In established subdivisions, homeowners frequently replace builder-grade trim, add built-ins around a fireplace or update a staircase with new treads, a stained handrail and metal balusters. Newer construction often benefits from millwork that gives plain rooms some depth and shadow.

Our custom carpentry spans interior and exterior work: stairs and railings, built-in cabinetry and shelving, mantels and fireplace surrounds, wainscoting, wood ceilings, closet systems and porch millwork. Finish carpentry is scheduled after the dusty trades are done, so the woodwork goes into a clean room, and every piece is part of the punch list walk before closeout. Wood species, stain and paint are chosen alongside the floors and cabinetry around them.
