More Than a Trade — A Legacy of Craft

Bartona Builders began in a small workshop over 125 years ago when our great-great-grandfather crafted his first heirloom chest by candlelight. Through five continuous generations, our family has honed the art of woodworking into a philosophy of homebuilding. Today’s craftsmen grew up amid sawdust and handplanes, absorbing techniques passed from father to son. For us, carpentry is not just about building; it is about breathing life and character into every board and beam.

Carpentry Meets Remodeling: The Foundation of Our Process

Our deep woodworking roots shape every Bartona project. Whether we build a new kitchen, add a room, or transform a deck, we custom create solutions instead of relying on off the shelf parts. Fine joinery becomes structural support. Hand planed trim becomes seamless transitions. Every built in, every panel, every beam carries our heritage into your home.

Our Woodworking Philosophy

Craftsmanship differs from production in heart and hands. In a world of particle board and prefab, real wood brings warmth, character, and permanence. Our hand finished surfaces age with grace. Custom woodworking invites stories, memories, and heirlooms. As one client said, “This bookcase will be in our family for generations.”
