About the Company
We’re a tight-knit team passionate about detail, craftsmanship, and creating welcoming spaces — whether that means building custom tables, making interior tweaks, or helping our clients’ visions come to life.

- Comfortable with a variety of basic carpentry tools (and know them well enough to use them safely).
- Ability to adapt — each project is a little different, so being flexible is key.
- Experience working as a carpenter is definitely a plus, but willing learners are welcome too, especially those with a good attitude.
