"I get jobs as a carpenter but I approach my work as a craftsman."
“All success starts with being a craftsman. A carpenter builds things. A craftsman creates a work of art. While most people approach their work with the mindset that they just want to get it done, craftsmen are more concerned with who they are becoming and what they are creating rather than how fast they finish it. After all, it’s no use finishing something if it’s not a work of art.”~from The Carpenter by Jon Gordon

Given the spread of the Coronavirus, we are limiting all work in March and April to outdoor projects only, until risk of it has passed. Please do not request a bid if anyone in your family is ill with sniffles, flu, bronchitis, a cough or coronavirus. This is the perfect time to have custom items made for your home, to be installed at a later date. A fireplace mantel takes 2 months to complete, from start to finish. Thank you for understanding. Stay out of crowds and stay healthy. |

SPRING Special: Prepare for Spring with an Awning over your Side or Back Door: $795
if attaching to siding and $975 if attached to brick. Painting not included in this price.
Spring is here and with it will come rain that is both a blessing for your garden and a concern for home maintenance issues.
Now is the time to redo trim work around exterior doors, not just excising bad "soft spots"... but replacing the entire trim around the door; water does not limit itself to the bottom 3 " of your door; it simply enters there and wicks upward.
When you wait until soft spots are more than evident visually, you welcome black mold into your home, seeping under the threshold, discoloring your flooring, where it will not remain in one place. It will travel up inside your walls and start to cause health ailments.
The most common black mold symptoms and health effects are toxic and associated with respiratory ailments. Chronic coughing and sneezing, irritation to the eyes, mucus membranes of the nose and throat, rashes, chronic fatigue and persistent headaches are all symptomatic of black mold exposure and poisoning.
Warning signs your door jambs are shot: peeling paint, bubbling paint, you can push wood in with your thumb, and wood is breaking off in shards.
In sum, NC receives 3-4" of rain per month, every month, and that isn't likely to change in the future!

"I used The Carpenter Craftsman to build an inside ramp, outside ramp, and dog door in my garage wall, as my dogs are getting older. Charlie did such a fantastic job, he listened to everything I asked for, and really took the picture in my head and brought it to life! He did such a quality job, it improves the house, looks fantastic, and the dogs love it, although we now have traffic jams when one dog stands in front of the door. Charlie is a great guy, was fun to have around, the dogs loved him a lot, and he went above and beyond in making sure it was perfect!"~Jerry T in Apex, NC
