About the Owner

I’m Aaron. I’ve sent my career doing a combination of technical and physical work and have spent the past few years leaning more into custom carpentry and woodworking. I specialize in trim carpentry and cabinetry, but love working on custom decorative projects and am happy to do handyman style work and punch lists, too. I know how hard it can be to find people who do reliable, quality work given the incredible building boom in Sussex County.

Cape Henlopen Carpentry LLC is licensed and insured. My regular service area includes Lewes, Rehoboth and nearby towns. Travel to other areas is negotiable. I mostly work on my own, but occasionally collaborate with helpers or bring in seasoned contractors who partner with me on larger jobs.

When I’m not working or chasing a toddler, you’ll see me cycling, playing disc golf or running Miles here to the dog park.
