  • Great service

    This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

Started my business in 2007, after someone who knows I enjoy woodworking, asked me to build fireplace mantels for them. I have had interest in woodworking long before this, and has been great to be creating wood products for people who enjoy the rich, warm, look of wood.

Design & building of wood fireplace mantels, surrounds, as well as other woodworking.

Looking for that unique design? Consider working with me!

I try to give the best effort in making a product that you will enjoy for many years!

My motto is "build it like it is going to be yours", a statement that my high school carpentry teacher told us.

    Lee with Custom Woodgrains has been a pleasure to work with! He has gone the extra mile to create a custom mantel, and his work has exceeded my expectations! He sent very detailed drawings calling out dimensions, as well as stain samples so we could match our existing decor. It arrived in a custom made box that kept it protected, and it is absolutely breath taking! I highly recommend Custom Woodgrains!!

    Working with Lee is a delight. He is communicative and highly responsive. He is very careful with measurements, and gave us a wide array of stain choices. The workmanship on our new mantel is exceptional. We absolutely love it. Our contractor was able to install the mantel easily. Thank you for a wonderful job!

    I had a great experience with Lee and will definately use him again. I had some very specific requests that he was able to pull off to perfection!

    Working with Lee was a pleasure. We communicated frequently during the construction of my mantle. He offered ideas on different woods, asked questions to understand my project, sent very detailed construction drawings, communicated directly with my contractor that was building the new fireplace to make revisions, sent many photos of the progress and completed the project much faster than I expected. In every way he was professional, courteous and highly communicative. It was a pleasure working with someone with such expertise. I didn't pay that much more than one of the mantles online that are shipped from China. Lee built a unique, very special mantle for our new house. Many thanks for the great job!

    I can honestly say that this was one of, if not the best experience I have had not just with the communication and value, but the pleasant and thoughtful dealings during the entire process. From design to completion I was never disappointed and my expectation were always exceeded. The final product was more than I could every wished for. I look forward to working with Leland again soon.
