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.

Architectural Woodcraft has been a major contributor to the exciting revitalization of Asheville and Western North Carolina since 1982. We have developed a solid reputation for providing residents and businesses with fine craftsmanship and superior service. We offer expertise in historic renovation, clear customer communications, and a knowledgeable, highly accomplished staff. We are fully capable of managing projects that range in complexity from custom entrances to large-scale property restoration.
With the cornerstone of Architectural Woodcraft in historic preservation, we feel that one of the most important aspects of "green building" is building something to last for generations. Everything we build is created with this enduring quality in mind. We are also mindful of our responsibility to our customers and to future generations by building with an environmental ethos every step of the way. We are able to create new windows and doors in custom configurations, that are able to meet the most rigorous energy efficiency standards.
My interest in building and creating things most likely came from two sources. One was my father, who was a civil engineer. The other, my summers spent working in heavy construction while pursuing a degree in fine arts and education. I started out working in a small company manufacturing Euro-designed windows and doors here in Asheville, NC.
Working with Platt Architecture, we were able to build many of the architectural features that make this modernist home on Lake Toxaway special. Read the full article here. Our true dedication to our clients won the Customer Service category for the Best of Houzz 2017. We won this award from our positive reviews from users on Houzz, the leading web platform for home remodeling and design.

Matt, one of the craftsmen at Architectural Woodcraft, remodeled our Airstream trailer. Sometimes, it's a good thing to have high expectations just to have the rare experience of having them surpassed. Matt did outstanding work. In fact, I would call it art. I thought about the design I wanted for many weeks. In a matter of minutes, Matt came up with some improvements and solutions that are far superior to anything we could have come up with. This is a team of artists. If you want high end work, This is the place!

We had Craig Weis design and build a custom king size bed for our new home. Rift sawn white oak with cherry inlay. We wanted a completely "floating" look with two attached drawers and it turned out beautiful! Couldn't be more pleased with it. It was delivered and installed on/against the wall expertly. Craig basically built the bed based on several discussions, some email exchanges and one visit to his shop to pick woods. Also, we then had him build a display case, which our architect designed, for our glass pieces of art.
Wood frame built-in with glass shelves and LED puck downlights. Again, turned out beautiful. Installation by his guys was again flawless. Craig is a great person, fun and easy to work with, and open to changes along the way.
