Justin Fink

Author Headshot

Justin Fink has over 16 years of experience in home building, restoration and woodworking. In March of 2020, he welcomed his first child and founded Fink & Son Carpentry and Woodworking.

In addition to historic buildings, Justin has worked on additions, upgrades, and customized built-ins for more modern buildings. He has tackled a wide range of projects from bars, bathrooms, furniture, cabinetry, doors, and building layouts, just to name a few.
