Good to know

Questions before you reach out?

Every custom job is different, but these are useful places to start.

Can JTM work from a photo or rough sketch?

Yes. Reference photos, a hand-drawn idea, and basic measurements are all helpful starting points. JTM will talk through what is practical for your space.

Do you offer custom dimensions?

Yes. Custom sizing is available for many handcrafted pieces, with pricing quoted according to the size, materials, and finish.

How do I know whether you serve my area?

JTM serves many South Side and south-suburban communities, along with Morris, Wilmington, and nearby areas. Send your project location through the inquiry form so Jim and Tammy can confirm availability.

Do you build decks for campers and RV sites?

Yes. JTM has experience building decks and outdoor features for campers, RVs, and seasonal sites around Morris and Wilmington. Campground and resort rules vary, so customers should confirm site requirements before work begins.

Are the woodcraft prices fixed?

Published prices are a useful starting point and are subject to change. Custom sizes and design changes are quoted separately.
