Overview

carpentry by design has been a premier contractor for home remodeling in Saratoga County, NY since the '70s. Specializing in detail woodwork and remodels, I tailor designs to fit your family's needs. I'm always open to innovation and love challenges

my work has been ....carpentry by design

There is always a solution. My goal has always been to be creative, calling it carpentry by design, which it is. Working with you to find the solution and exploring your options is the heart of the matter..      

From redesigning or expanding rooms to finishing walls with panels or detailed accents, installing coffered beams, or building and installing custom cabinetry, I'm committed to creating spaces to meet your special needs.

Whether it's transforming your basement into a refined living area or undertaking various custom woodworking projects tailored to your specific requirements, I ensure attention to detail and craftsmanship.

I also specialize in installing & building interior and exterior doors, including those for decks or patio areas, whether in a Pergola-style or Timber Framed design. Additionally, I incorporate simple yet unique joinery techniques inspired by Japanese carpentry.

Finally, I am adept at working with both store-bought and custom-made moldings, railings, stairs, and personal closets tailored to your needs.

John completely rebuilt the front porch on our 1890's Victorian and now it will be good for another 100 years. His experience shines through in his work and is meticulous about the details. He does a great job keeping records off all the expenses for both materials and his time so we knew what we were getting.

John was incredible to work with! He saved my basement project after my prior contractor quit mid job. John has so much talent in carpentry and design and was able to help my Wife and I design our basement. I would highly recommend John for any project, he is always punctual and highly organized .

Thank you so much Patricia for the positive review, it is so appreciated. It was my pleasure making the rooms in your home work for you.

Professional and a True Craftsman! I worked with John on a remodeling project in my historic home. It was important to me that details like the trim in the remodeled area matched the original which is not standard stock. John’s custom work on these details was beautiful and high quality. Couldn’t have been more pleased. John is friendly, efficient and stays on schedule. I will work with John on future projects and confidently recommend his services.
