What kinds of carpentry projects do you handle?

We take on interior and exterior carpentry for homeowners who want quality work that lasts. That can include custom trim, built-ins, framing, porch and deck details, exterior wood features, ceiling details, stair work, wood accents, and structural, architectural, and full-scale renovation work. If your project is part of a remodel, new build, or major upgrade, we can usually handle it in-house.

Who will I be working with during my project?

When you call TNS Construction, you work directly with Bryan from the start. He prices every job and stays involved on-site, so you are not handed off to a salesperson or a cheap subcontracted crew. We are a small owner-operated company founded in 2014, and that hands-on approach helps us keep communication clear and quality consistent.

Do you only do carpentry, or can you handle the whole remodeling project?

We often handle carpentry as part of a larger remodeling or custom building project. Many homeowners come to us because they want one trusted team for framing, finish carpentry, remodeling, and other major phases of the work. Because we do everything in-house whenever possible, the process stays more organized and the final result feels more cohesive.

How do you make sure the finished carpentry matches my home?

We start with a real conversation about your goals, your home’s style, and how the space needs to function. Then we guide you through scope, materials, design details, timeline, and any job-site challenges we see early on. Whether you want clean modern trim, classic wood detailing, or custom features that fit an older mountain home, we build with the look and function of the whole house in mind.

How long does a carpentry project usually take?

That depends on the size and complexity of the work, the materials selected, and whether the carpentry is part of a larger renovation or new build. During your consultation, we will talk through the expected timeline, what could affect scheduling, and how we plan the work to keep your project moving. We believe in being upfront, not vague, so you know what to expect.

Interior & Exterior Carpentry

At TNS Construction, our carpentry work is about more than cutting wood and putting pieces together. We build interior and exterior features that make your home look better, work better, and hold up over time. From structural framing and custom trim to porches, decks, built-ins, and detailed finish work, we handle carpentry with the same care we bring to full home remodeling and new construction projects.

We are a small, owner-operated company based in Leicester, NC, and we have been serving homeowners across the Asheville area since 2014. When you hire us, you work directly with Bryan Sherlin from the start. He prices every project, stays involved throughout the job, and is on-site with the crew. We keep our work in-house, and we do not rely on cheap subcontracted crews. That matters when you want clean lines, solid framing, good communication, and a finished product that feels right in your home.

Who this service is for

This service is a great fit for homeowners who want quality craftsmanship and a finished result that feels intentional. Some clients come to us because they are remodeling an older home and want the carpentry to match the character of the house. Others want to upgrade a newer home with custom trim, built-ins, or exterior features that make it stand out. We also work with homeowners planning larger renovations or new builds who need dependable framing and finish carpentry from one experienced team.

We mainly serve residential homeowners in Leicester, Asheville, Waynesville, Lake Junaluska, and Maggie Valley. Many of our clients are looking for a higher-end result, and they want a builder who communicates clearly, shows up, and does the work the right way.

Our process

Every carpentry project starts with a conversation about what you want to achieve. We look at the style of your home, the condition of the existing structure, and how the finished work needs to perform day to day. Because carpentry often ties into layout, structural planning, moisture control, and finishing details, we take the time to think through the whole scope before work begins.

Our projects are typically planned around the following:

Scope: We define exactly what is being built, installed, or reframed, including dimensions, design preferences, layout needs, and how the carpentry ties into the rest of the home.
Challenges: We identify issues early, such as uneven surfaces, moisture exposure, settling, framing limitations, or matching existing finishes in older homes.
Materials: We help select the right lumber, trim profiles, fasteners, finishes, and exterior-rated products based on the location and long-term use of the feature.
Timeline: We give you a realistic schedule based on project size, material availability, weather exposure for exterior work, and whether the carpentry is part of a larger renovation.
Before and after: When available, we document the transformation with project photos so you can see the value of the finished work and the level of detail we bring to each job.

Interior carpentry that changes how a home feels

Good interior carpentry can completely change a room without making it feel overdone. Clean trim lines, well-built storage, and custom details create a finished look that stock materials often cannot match. We build features that improve both function and appearance, whether that means adding custom shelving in a living room, creating a more polished trim package throughout the house, or framing a remodeled space so everything flows the way it should.

We pay close attention to fit, reveal, transitions, and symmetry. These small details are what separate average carpentry from quality craftsmanship. In remodeled homes, we also focus on blending new work with existing materials so the finished result feels natural, not pieced together.

Exterior carpentry built for Western North Carolina weather

Exterior carpentry needs to look good, but it also needs to handle moisture, sun, and seasonal temperature changes. In Western North Carolina, that matters. Deck framing, porch details, trim elements, and exposed wood features all need to be built with durability in mind. We use solid building practices and choose materials based on exposure, maintenance needs, and the overall design of the home.

Whether we are building a new deck to enjoy the mountain view, adding a covered porch, or upgrading exterior trim and wood details, we focus on structure first. A beautiful finish means very little if the foundation underneath is not right. That is why our exterior carpentry work is approached with the mindset of a builder, not just an installer.

Why homeowners choose TNS Construction

Homeowners choose us because we offer a more personal and more hands-on experience than many larger companies. We are a fourth-generation local business, and this work is personal to us. We believe homeowners deserve honest guidance, straightforward communication, and craftsmanship that holds up. With a five-person team, we stay closely involved in our projects and keep quality under control.

Clients also appreciate that everything is done in-house. That means better consistency, better accountability, and fewer surprises. If we are building custom woodwork or handling structural carpentry as part of a renovation, you can trust that the same team is seeing the project through. Our goal is not just to finish the work. It is to build something that adds lasting value to your home.

Materials and design considerations

The right carpentry project starts with the right materials. Depending on the application, we may recommend pressure-treated lumber for structural exterior framing, composite-friendly substructure planning, hardwood or paint-grade materials for interior finish work, or exterior trim products designed for better durability. We also consider expansion and contraction, moisture exposure, maintenance expectations, and how the woodwork will connect with nearby finishes like flooring, drywall, siding, or roofing.

If your project is custom, we can help guide design decisions so the final product fits the architecture of your home. That may include trim scale, board proportions, post sizes, stair layout, built-in depth, shelving balance, and paint or stain plans. These choices make a big difference in how polished the finished work looks.

Built to fit larger remodeling and custom build projects

One of the biggest advantages of working with TNS Construction is that our carpentry service fits naturally into larger projects. If you are planning a home remodeling project, a custom new build, or an outdoor living upgrade, we can handle the carpentry as part of the full scope. That creates a smoother process, better scheduling, and stronger quality control from start to finish.

Instead of hiring separate companies for framing, finish details, and exterior wood features, you can work with one team that understands the full vision. That is often the difference between a home that feels cohesive and one that feels disconnected.
