Fernandina Beach & all of Nassau County

I build built-ins and custom woodwork for your home.

I'm Brandon Hardy. I run a small woodworking shop here in Nassau County. Most of my work is custom fireplace built-ins in Fernandina Beach, media walls, libraries, kitchen remodels, and custom home offices in Nassau County — plus home bars and smaller pieces when someone asks for something you just can't buy in a store.

If you've got a wall that needs something, or an idea you've been sketching, give me a call and we'll talk it through.

A quick note —

I don't do flat-pack or “close enough.” If it's going in your house, I want it made for your house. That means I come out, measure your actual walls (they're never as square as they look), we talk through what you want it to hold and how you want it to look, and then I build it in the shop.

Built and finished in the shop, not improvised in your living room
Installed, leveled, and fitted to the walls as they really are
And I clean up before I leave

the work

What I build

These are the jobs I do most, for folks in Fernandina Beach, on Amelia Island, and over in Yulee, Callahan, and Hilliard. If yours isn't on here, ask anyway — a lot of my favorite pieces started as “can you make something like…?”

White built-in media wall with electric fireplace, TV niche, and lighted display shelves

Fireplace built-ins & media walls

Surrounds, shelving, and cabinets built around your fireplace or TV wall. I've built a lot of these custom fireplace built-ins in Fernandina Beach, where that wall is usually the heart of the room. I work the lighting and storage in from the start, so cords and clutter have somewhere to go.

Corner library of floor-to-ceiling built-in bookcases with lower cabinets

Libraries & bookcases

Floor-to-ceiling shelving and corner libraries with closed storage below. Sized to the room — and to what you actually need to put on them.

Custom home office with dark built-in cabinets and shelving, two workstations, leather chairs, and a starburst light fixture

Custom home offices

I build custom home offices in Nassau County with built-in bookcases, cabinets, and desk space made for how you actually work at home. I plan in room for your books, files, printer, and cords — so the office works as good as it looks — like this one, built for two.

Kitchen remodels

If your kitchen cabinets are tired, or the layout just doesn't work the way you cook, I can help with that too. I handle the woodwork side of a kitchen remodel — new cabinets, pantry storage, and an island if you've got room for one — all built to fit your kitchen, not a standard showroom size. Tell me what's not working about the one you've got, and we'll plan the new one around how you actually use it.

Blue built-in home bar wall with glass-front cabinets, bookcases, wine rack, and beverage fridges

Home bars

Wet bars, wine storage, glass-front cabinets, and full walls for entertaining. Designed around how you gather, not just how it photographs.

Bathroom with an antique wood dresser converted into a vanity, marble top, and blue shiplap walls

Vanities & walls

Custom vanities — including turning an old dresser into one — plus shiplap and tongue-and-groove on walls and ceilings.

Three live-edge wood floating shelves mounted on a wall beside a window

Shelves & mantels

Live-edge and solid-wood floating shelves, mantel beams, and those finishing pieces that finally make a room feel done.

Reclaimed wood record cabinet with pull-out turntable shelf and vinyl storage drawers

One-off furniture & small pieces

Record cabinets, serving boards, trays, and other one-of-a-kind pieces built to order. Small job, same care.

why not just buy one?

A blank wall can become the room everybody ends up in.

Store-bought units leave gaps at the top, waste the corners, and never quite match the house. A built-in starts with your room.

Storage shaped around what you own — books, bottles, records, the big TV
Outlets, lighting, and a wine or drink fridge planned in, not worked around
Painted or natural wood, matched to the rest of your home
Walls, ceilings, and trim handled as one job

no pressure, no runaround

How a job usually goes

Pretty simple, start to finish. You'll always know what's next because I'll tell you.

We talk it through

Call or email me what you're picturing. A photo of the space and rough measurements help, but they're not required to start.

I measure & we design it

I come measure, and we work out the design, wood, and finish together before I cut anything.

I build it

Built in the shop, finished to what we agreed on.

I install it

Fitted in your home, leveled, finished off — and cleaned up after.

I'm based in Nassau County and work all over the county — Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island, Yulee, Callahan, Hilliard, and Bryceville. A lot of that work is custom fireplace built-ins in Fernandina Beach, custom home offices in Nassau County, and kitchen remodels, but if you're anywhere nearby and have a wall or a room in mind, I'm glad to come take a look.
