In an age where quality woodworking is becoming scarce, Massey Woodworks remains steadfast in preserving the art of true craftsmanship.
Massey Woodworks is owned and operated by Chris Massey, a seasoned carpenter with over 35 years of expertise in delivering top-notch finish carpentry and construction services. Chris' s journey in woodworking began in Boulder, Colorado, where he cut his teeth as a carpentry apprentice. He later established and operated a custom woodwork shop for nearly two decades in Ellensburg, Washington, leaving his mark on countless residential and commercial ventures, including restaurant renovations.
Chris continued to hone his fine carpentry skills by working with a high-end custom home building company in Boulder, Colorado, an award-winning architecture and construction company in Spokane, Washington, and a commercial development company in Eagle, Idaho
Now having set his roots in the beautiful state of Tennessee, Chris is again establishing his own custom woodworking shop, with a focus on creating architectural and specialty woodwork, and custom built-ins and cabinetry. Chris has supported designers, architects, contractors and homeowners with their custom design needs for many years, and is adept at transforming projects from blueprints (or even a casual napkin doodle!) into a flawless reality with his meticulous attention to detail and skilled craftsmanship.
Chris and his wife Brenda's family includes five adult children and four grandchildren. They moved to Franklin in October 2023 and greatly enjoy exploring the back roads and small towns, the satisfying Southern meals, and the live music that abounds in 'The Volunteer State'.
Massey Woodworks is proud to partner with clients, architects, and designers to create custom wood architectural pieces, cabinetry, doors, and much more, for homes and businesses. Please contact us for a custom bid on your project.
I have been actively working in construction for over 50 years, my father and grandfather were both skilled builders. I knew I had someone special when Chris came to work at Hanson Carlen. Skilled craftsmen are hard to find, add to that Chris has motivation and works hard making him more special. Then add to that Chris is a super honest salt of the earth type of guy, one whom you would trust with your family. During his time at HC Chris did some super unique one-of-a-kind projects—with excellence. I would highly recommend Chris- call him before he gets too busy.

I was Chris's employer for eight years. I always gave him the most difficult projects. He always figured out how to complete them perfectly, and within budget. He is an amazing carpenter.

Chris was the addition my team needed to complete our project. Chris has an eye for detail and amazing hand dexterity. He was the point man on my very intense remodel, and he was on top of everything.. Chris not only took the initiative, he also was a patient and informative team member and teacher. Chris is someone that inspires me with his precision, detail and need to get it done right the first time. He took the time to walk me through every step and would explain why things were done a certain way until I was able to understand. As a project manager in the industry, I can attest that Chris is the man for the job. We cannot recommend Chris enough!
