Canton, North Carolina

Balance in all things,
but especially carpentry.

I'm a one-man carpentry operation out of Canton, NC. Decks, porches, trim, stairs, remodels, repairs — if it's wood, I can probably help.

What I do

🪵
Finish Carpentry & Trim

Crown molding, baseboards, casing, wainscoting. Slow, careful work that shows when it's done right.

🏗️
Rough Carpentry

Framing, structural work, additions. The unglamorous stuff that everything else depends on.

🏠
Interior Remodeling

Kitchens, bathrooms, living spaces. I'll tell you upfront what's realistic and what it'll cost.

🚪
Doors & Windows

Installation and replacement. Old houses in WNC can be a puzzle — I've fit a few of them.

🪜
Stairs & Railings

New builds and replacements. Stairs are one of those things worth doing carefully.

🌲
Decks, Porches & Outdoor

Decks, covered porches, pergolas. A lot of my work is outside, and I enjoy it.

🔧
Home Repair

Rot, storm damage, mystery leaks, things that should've been fixed years ago. Happy to take a look.

🧖
Custom Saunas

A specialty of mine. Custom builds and pre-fab installs — see the sauna section below.

Saunas

Saunas are
a specialty.

I've built a number of saunas around the Southeast and I'm an aficionado myself — someone who cares about sticking to centuries of Finnish design principles for a sauna that not only looks good, but actually functions as it should.

I do custom builds and pre-fab installs. If you're thinking about adding a sauna, call me and we'll talk through what makes sense for your space.

About

Hi, I'm Chris.

I'm the owner, and I'm also the guy who shows up. No subcontractors, no crew — when you hire Balance Carpentry, you get me on your job site every day until it's done.

I've been doing carpentry in WNC for years and I take on work I know I can do well. I'm not the cheapest option and I'm not the fastest, but I'll do it right and I'll be straight with you about what it takes.

If you've got something in mind, give me a call and we'll figure out if it's a good fit.
