Massey Woodworks is run by Chris Massey, a seasoned carpenter with over 35 years of experience in top-tier finish carpentry and construction. Chris worked as a carpentry apprentice in Boulder, Colorado as a young man and knew then that he had found his career calling. Over the years, he learned from many talented and highly skilled craftsmen, honing his own skills and having the opportunity to work on a wide variety of projects. Chris has a deep understanding of the craft and takes pride in delivering work that's both high-quality and practical. He focuses on doing things the right way, every time, without all the extra hype.
Whether you're starting from scratch with a new design or bringing your architect or designer's ideas along, we'd love to work with you. With a sharp eye for detail and craftsmanship you can trust, we’ll help make your vision a reality.
Chris and his wife Brenda moved to Franklin, Tennessee in October 2023 and love exploring the small towns, enjoying amazing Southern food, and soaking in all the live music the state has to offer.
We build custom wood cabinetry, built-in furniture and free-standing furniture for homes and businesses.

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!
