Southern Historic Builders

We needed a highly skilled fine woodworker to repair the historic entrance door of our Creole cottage, restore several original double hung windows, and build exact replica shutters for the front of the house. The quality of the work exceeded every expectation. The craftsmanship was precise, careful, and completely respectful of the historic character of our home. The entrance door had significant wear, and Ray brought it back to life with expert skill and thoughtful attention to detail. The repaired windows now open and close smoothly while still maintaining their original appearance. The custom shutters are exact matches to the originals and look as if they have always belonged on the house. Throughout the project Ray was reliable, communicative, and committed to doing the job the right way. His pride in his craft shows in every part of the work. I would confidently recommend him to anyone who needs fine woodworking, especially for historic homes where accuracy and quality matter
