Over 250 years ago, the Golden Age of fireplace mantel design began. At that time, the ability to bring a warming fire into the home was a marvelous luxury. During winter months, the whole family and all of their guests lived in front of the fireplace. Because the fireplace mantel was so visible and important, lavish care was invested in its design, and only the finest craftsman were commissioned to build it.

Today, this legacy of artistry endures. All of our handcrafted mantels bear the classic architectural lines that have endured with timeless elegance. Although central heat now warms the home, the fireplace remains its focal point. Today, every dollar invested in upgrading a mantel leads to a dollar fifty increase in home value - the highest rate of return for any home improvement project.

We want you to love the home you live in. Let our craftsmen build a custom mantel to your specifications. Select the mantel that reflects your personal style. Choose the size you want, the species of wood you want, and the stain or finish you want. Your choices even include cast stone and wrought iron and marble.

Gather around the fireplace and enjoy the tradition loved for generations. We are delighted to have our craftsmanship in the focal point of your home.
