Custom Built for You

Dedicated to the Craft

Established in 2013, Artisans’ MKE is a bespoke family business dedicated to the art and craft of fine woodworking.

We approach each project as an exciting opportunity to provide you with renovations or new builds that are both functional and that blend seamlessly with your home’s design.

We are proud to be locally owned and operated, and have called the Milwaukee area our home since 1969.

“Mike’s woodworking projects in my 105-year-old Milwaukee bungalow have been nothing short of transformational. Mike is not just a contractor, he is both craftsman and artist. Combined with his easy approachability, earnestness, and reliability I cannot think of a reason not to consider Artisans’ MKE when in need of quality workmanship, from a simple repair to the spectacular.”

— Bob, Milwaukee, WI

“Mike is an expert craftsman who has completed several projects on my 85-year old house. He is reliable, and he uses his extensive knowledge of home construction to be cost efficient when he makes repairs. The repairs and restorations he has made fit seamlessly into the original woodwork of my home.”

“I highly recommend Mike for any home project. His custom built floor to ceiling bookshelves matched the 1920s aesthetic of my home and was completed with expert craftsmanship and beauty. He instinctively understood the look I was striving for and delivered on it brilliantly. On a personal note, Mike was a joy to work with - very friendly, knowledgeable, and insightful on all aspects of master carpentry and design. Any home will be enriched with Mike’s work!”

— Helen, Wauwatosa, WI

“Artisans’ MKE did several projects for me. If I had to use one word to describe how I felt about their work it would be “extraordinary”! They’re very conscientious, pay attention to detail, demonstrate excellent communication skills, and answered all my questions.

The final products demonstrated expertise in working with wood and I couldn’t be happier with the final outcomes. If you have a woodworking project where you want superb quality and competence, then I most highly recommend Artisans’ MKE.”

— John, Lake Bluff, IL

I’ve had the unique perspective to watch Mike grow as a craftsman over many years. He started working on projects for me when he was in his apprenticeship 22 years ago. Fast forward to today, Mike has only gotten better. I know the project will be done on time, on budget, and done to perfection. I trust Mike implicitly, I can leave him alone in my house to finish his work, he doesn’t need babysitting.

Mike’s a quintessential maker. He is able to come up with creative solutions for basic functionality issues that arise in our daily lives, and is equally adept at creating original designs, executing beautifully crafted furniture and finish carpentry updates for our home.

We throw new challenges at him regularly, he always rises to the occasion. I highly recommend Artisans’ MKE!
