Who we are
Locally owned and operated small construction business providing residential services with the intent to build long lasting craftsmanship and relationships.
From my earliest memories of working alongside my father in his Idaho workshop to constructing facilities in Southern California and crafting custom homes in Texas, my journey in construction spans both distance and dedication. As a Marine Corps veteran and third-generation craftsman, I've built everything from living arrangements in Iraq to modern day renovations in Illinois, each project adding depth to my expertise.
Growing up in small-town North Idaho, I learned the fundamentals of construction helping my father build our family homes. Those early lessons in quality craftsmanship and attention to detail left a mark, shaping the values that guide our business today. After serving honorably in the Marine Corps across multiple deployments, I expanded my construction expertise through diverse projects – from multi-million dollar water treatment facilities to intricate home renovations and custom cabinet work.
Now settled down in the wonderful community of Geneseo, Illinois, we've established Barnhouse Custom Carpentry LLC with a simple yet powerful mission: to transform your ideas into reality while treating your home with the same care and respect we do to our own.
What Sets Us Apart:
Personal attention and daily communication throughout your project
Flexible scheduling and punctual service that respects your time
Collaborative approach that keeps you in control of all decisions
Strong community partnerships to ensure comprehensive solutions
Efficient small-team structure that maintains quality while managing costs
We believe that the best results come from working hand-in-hand with our clients, guiding rather than directing, and ensuring your comfort throughout the process. Your vision sets the boundaries of what's possible – we're simply here to help bring those ideas to life with skill, dedication, and professional expertise.
Whether you're considering a modest update or dreaming of a major renovation, we're ready to apply almost a decade of experience and lifetime of learned craftsmanship to your project. We look forward to showing you how our commitment to quality workmanship and customer satisfaction can bring your home improvement goals to life.
