Master Carpenter for Historic and Older Homes (KC Metro)
QR Code Link to This Post
My background is in finish carpentry, architectural millwork, and structural and historically appropriate restoration. Most recently, I spent seven years restoring an 1890 Queen Anne in Kansas City's historic Pendleton Heights district. Along with major structural renovations ,I designed and installed its interior trim and when original moulding profiles weren’t commercially available, set up a woodworking shop and milled custom matching millwork onsite.
My master carpenter skills cover finish carpentry, trim and moulding repairs, custom profiles, and getting doors to open, close, and latch properly. I also bring a strong understanding of Roman- Greco architecture to Victorian and Queen Anne trim design , structure, and historically appropriate details for older homes .
While I am not necessarily looking for major projects, I’m glad to consider a modest repair as well as a challenging or unusual project. If something in your home needs attention, feel free to get in touch . I’m happy to discuss what’s involved and whether it’s a good fit. My goal is to do careful, lasting work that suits the character of the house. If you simply need ideas or consultation services, I am happy to swing by and take a look at your historic home .
