About
I specialize in custom carpentry and millwork for homeowners and designers who value thoughtful design, precision craftsmanship, and long-term quality.
With over 25 years of experience across residential and commercial construction, I approach each project with a problem-solving mindset—balancing form, function, and durability to create pieces that feel intentional and built to last.
My work includes built-ins, cabinetry, banquettes, and custom furniture, often integrated into larger interior spaces where detail and proportion matter. I collaborate closely with clients and designers to ensure each piece fits seamlessly within the home.
Sustainability is a core part of my process. I prioritize responsibly sourced materials, avoid MDF and low-quality composites, and use low-VOC finishes wherever possible. My goal is to build with care—not just for the client, but for the environment the work exists within.
Projects typically begin at $750, with most work ranging from $5,000–$20,000+ depending on scope.
If you’re looking for design-driven carpentry with a clear process and a high level of execution, I’d be happy to connect.

Jason did an incredible job putting in a large built in bedroom closet. He worked with real wood which we really appreciated and is very rare these days. He also made sure the piece not only fit well in our space but met our needs in terms of storage and organization. Jason was open to us contacting him in the future if we deicide to make any changes like adding door handles etc.. It is comforting to know he is available should we need anything down the line. I highly recommend Jason. He cares about his work and is able to meet his clients needs while also creating a piece that has a nice aesthetic and compliments the space.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share this—I'm really glad to hear the closet came together just the way you hoped. It was a pleasure working with you on the design and details to make it both functional and cohesive with the room. I appreciate your trust in me and look forward to helping with any future updates or additions.

Jason was extraordinarily thorough with the job he did for me. He was clear of what it would take to get the job done and his pricing was very reasonable. I would use them again in a minute.

Jason was amazing. I needed new custom doors for a very large medicine cabinet in my bathroom and Jason came up with great ideas and made/installed the doors in a very quick timeframe. Would absolutely recommend and use again if I ever needed more carpentry work.

I had an idea. Jason’s creativity improved my idea practically and aesthetically. He came up with a novel solution for my wine fridge that allowed me to keep the counter narrower. Working with him was a pleasure and we are very happy with the results.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our pricing is based on the scope, scale, and level of customization involved in each project. Whether it's a smaller-scale piece or a more complex installation, the goal is always to deliver long-term value with thoughtful design, durable craftsmanship, and responsible material choices. While most of our work falls in the $5,000–$20,000+ range, we do take on more compact projects when the fit and timing are right. Every estimate is transparent—no hidden fees, just a clear breakdown of what goes into your build.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start with a quick conversation—either a phone call or an in-person consultation—so we can understand your goals and determine the best approach. After that, you'll receive a detailed estimate outlining scope, materials, timeline, and pricing. Once approved, a deposit invoice is sent to lock in scheduling, and the project moves into production. From start to finish, everything is built with care, efficiency, and attention to detail. When the work is complete, we’ll send your final invoice along with a request for feedback—we value your insight and use it to continue improving the experience we offer.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I bring over 25 years of experience in the construction industry, with the last two decades focused specifically on residential and commercial carpentry. That hands-on foundation has shaped my approach to quality, precision, and problem-solving. Beyond the jobsite, I’m committed to continuous learning—whether it's refining traditional techniques or staying current with new tools, materials, and sustainable practices. This combination of experience and ongoing education allows me to deliver thoughtful, lasting work tailored to each project.
