Massey Woodworks is built on a commitment to quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, and doing the work the right way. In an industry increasingly driven by speed and shortcuts, Chris Massey has earned a reputation for precision, reliability, and workmanship that reflects genuine care for the craft.
With more than 35 years of experience in fine finish carpentry, Chris began his career as an apprentice in Boulder, Colorado and has spent decades refining his skills through high-end residential and commercial projects. Over the years, he has worked on numerous custom homes and architect-driven projects requiring a high level of technical skill, coordination, and attention to detail. Several of the homes he helped execute went on to receive architectural recognition and awards — a reflection of the level of craftsmanship and execution behind the finished work.
Beyond the craftsmanship itself, he is known for his ability to manage complex projects, solve problems thoughtfully, and execute demanding designs with precision and consistency. It’s a level of experience and care that has become increasingly difficult to find in today’s construction industry.
Today, Massey Woodworks partners with homeowners, designers, and builders throughout Middle Tennessee, including Franklin, Nashville, Columbia, and surrounding communities, creating custom woodworking for clients who value lasting quality, professionalism, and exceptional craftsmanship.
We provide custom woodworking services in Franklin, TN and surrounding areas, including Nashville, Brentwood, Spring Hill, and Columbia.

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!
