Architectural Woodcraft was started in 1989 to meet the area’s growing need for the preservation and restoration of historic buildings. We helped renovate many of Asheville’s architectural gems, such as the Basilica of St. Lawrence, the Grove Arcade, as well as many private homes. Our shop has grown over the decades and we now do much of our woodworking in contemporary and modern styles and techniques. Areas of particular expertise include custom doors, windows, cabinetry, furniture and architectural details. We build the kitchens, bathrooms and living spaces that make a house special. Our unparalleled craftsmanship and creativity shows in the quality and beauty of our work. Whether it’s a commercial project or home, we are eager to help you with your next restoration or new construction project. Let us make something special for you.
