Classical Finish Carpentry · North Atlanta

Finish Carpentry,
Built by the Book

Trim, wainscoting, built-ins, and custom millwork, proportioned to the room by rules the finest homes have used for centuries.

The Difference

Somewhere along the way, finish carpentry turned into a "legoland" of sorts. Parts nailed up with no grammar behind them, sizes guessed, profiles that were never meant to sit together.

I build the other way. Every room is proportioned to the classical orders of architecture, and every moulding is sourced or milled true to its period. It is the difference you feel the moment you walk in, even when you cannot name it.

What I Build

Fine interior woodwork,
done correctly.

01

Trim & Finish Carpentry

Casing, base, crown, and doors, sized and detailed to your rooms rather than the builder's default.

02

Wainscoting & Paneling

Raised, flat, and board-and-batten, laid out to true proportion so the panels read as intentional.

03

Custom Built-Ins

Bookcases, media walls, and cabinetry, built in the shop and installed clean in your home.

04

Custom & Period Mouldings

Any profile can be made, right down to a custom knife ground to reproduce a historic moulding exactly.

05

Mantels & Fireplace Surrounds

The focal point of the room, composed to carry the wall around it and sit in proportion to the space.

06

Coffered & Patterned Ceilings

Coffers, herringbone, and patterned walls that turn a plain surface into the reason people look up.

Built by the Book

A system older than the country.

The classical orders were written down two thousand years ago and have run through the finest homes ever since. When a room is built to them, the proportions simply feel right.

That is what you are paying for: not trim stapled to a wall, but a room composed the way the old masters composed, every piece sized by a rule and finished by hand.
