Custom Installations, Selected Projects
Overcoming complex structural and aesthetic challenges, my custom specialty installations range from structural masonry cutouts to intricate finish carpentry and outdoor hardscaping. In addition to custom timber framing, built in millwork, and specialty spray refinishing, I handle technical restoration work including seamless custom brick crack repair to preserve historic and weathered masonry facades. To complement my carpentry and stonework, I integrate custom metal fabrication for precise structural lintels, structural supports, and unique hardware, delivering end to end craftsmanship tailored to the unique demands of each project.
