25 years of carpentry,
supervised personally.
First Carpentry LLC is a small, owner-operated residential construction company serving Chicago and the western suburbs. We don't sub out the work that matters and we don't promise what we can't deliver.
I didn't start at the top.
I started as the guy sweeping floors, carrying materials, cleaning up job sites, and helping experienced craftsmen.
Over 25 years, I worked my way through every level of residential construction — from laborer to carpenter, lead carpenter, foreman, and project supervisor.
That journey taught me something important: quality work comes from experience, attention to detail, and respect for the customer.
Today, First Carpentry LLC specializes in home additions, second-story additions, and residential remodeling throughout the Chicago area. I've been where every worker on the job site stands, and I bring that experience to every project.
