About us
A 22-person shop that never took on more work than it could staff.
Tom Ferris started the company out of a one-bay garage on Foundry Street in 1998, framing additions on weekends. The rule then is the rule now: one lead carpenter per job, and we don't sell a start date we can't hold.
Nine of our carpenters have been here over a decade. That's why the person who quotes your project is usually still standing in your kitchen on week five.
