What the shop does.

Five disciplines
Pleasant Hills, MD

The shop takes on five disciplines, listed below. Within each, jobs run from a single small repair to a full start-to-finish build. Send a note and I'll tell you whether it's a fit.

01

Cabinetry & Countertops

Start-to-finish cabinetry — from demolition through hardware and accessories, with appliances integrated and counters fit on the bench, not in a catalogue.

  • Start-to-finish kitchen installation — demo, layout, appliances, hardware
  • Custom cabinetry installation, modifications, repairs, refinishing
  • Custom wood counter and bar tops
  • Built-ins — fully measured and made to your exact space

02

Finish Carpentry

The work that makes a room read finished — doors that close on a thumb's push, trim that turns the corner without a gap, stairs that don't talk back.

  • Door and window installation
  • Trim, millwork, and mouldings
  • Staircases and railings
  • Repair and refinishing of existing finish work

Fine Woodworking

One-of-one pieces in solid hardwood. Designed in conversation, drawn in full scale, joined with the methods that have outlasted every fashion.

  • Custom furniture pieces
  • Functional art & small commissions
  • Signs and display pieces

04

Repair & Refinishing

Older work, brought back into service with the same methods that built it. Joints tightened, parts replaced in-kind, finishes rebuilt by hand.

  • Antique & heirloom furniture restoration
  • Hand-rubbed and brushed finish rebuilds
  • Cabinet refacing & door modifications
  • Trim and millwork repair to match existing

05

Home Improvement

Handyman service for the jobs that need a thinking carpenter, not a check-list. The diagnostic work, the half-day fixes, the small additions you've put off because no one has the time.

  • Handyman services
  • Tricky problems & diagnostic investigations
  • Functional design & planning
  • Small additions, modifications, and adjustments

The process.

§ — From first call to final coat
  1. STEP I

    Conversation

    A phone call or note. Tell me what you have in mind. No charge.

  2. STEP II

    Site visit

    I come out, walk the space, and take measurements. I'll flag anything else I notice while I'm there.

  3. STEP III

    Drawings & estimate

    Hand-drawn elevations, a written scope, and an honest estimate. Revisions until you're happy with the plan.

  4. STEP IV

    Build & install

    Materials sourced, pieces built on the bench, install kept clean. Daily walk-throughs and a final sign-off when the punch list is closed.

§ — Get in touch

Have a project in mind?

Send a short description, a budget range if you've got one, and a couple phone snapshots of the space. I'll get back to you within a day or two.
