Cincinnati Custom Craftsman
Welcome to Old School Craftsman!
Hello! My name is Brent W. Sears. I am a Master Craftsman and an Artisan of arduous proportions. A confluence of Talent, Skills and Madness; where "Good enough" just isn't enough for me!
Let me tell you a little about what you can expect, and the deliverable you will receive from me. Historical Restoration and Preservation projects are exciting!! I live for the replications and creations, meeting new people and new families, making new friendships and lasting relationships. So please, take a deep breath and ease your mind knowing your project is in very good hands.
I have been in the building trades professionally since 1984 (now more than 42 years). Before that I grew up tagging around with my grandpa since I was old enough to walk. I have many, many recent references (and some even typed and some handwritten from many years ago when I was a much younger man starting out) that can attest to this introductory statement, a further guarantee you will soon be another among these many testimonials of how we will create a scope of work to restore, renovate, and replicate your desires, appreciations and ultimately meeting your expectations.
And to that, my son Brendon now works and walks with me as I teach him the ways of "old school craftsmanship" as the art of the old is fading away. Sadly, in my lifetime, I have watched quality craftsmanship leave the building trades in a downhill slide, and to that end, burns from the burlap is all that is left to rub.
People say, "You are so booked out, I can't wait for you, who do you recommend?" To which I say, "I only recommend me". They further ask, "you must know someone I can contact?" To which I reply, "I do...they are in the graveyard go visit them first chance you get".
About My Business Model
Many of my clients, and skilled tradesmen that work with me daily, have referred to me as a Master Craftsman, and my work to that of an Artisan. I do what many will not or cannot; either due to enormous complexities or means, methods and techniques exceeding skill levels. I have built what seem to many as nearly impossible; while honoring meticulous architectural details with impeccable and predictable results. While others "build", a Craftsman/Artisan creates a work of art. And while it is hard to truly define a Master Craftsman/Artisan.....you will certainly recognize it in my final work product created for your many years of enjoyment.
Many approach their work with the mindset "just hurry up and get it done"; I am most concerned with perfecting what I am creating for you rather than having it completed, posthaste. My mature business experiences have taught me the quickest way to complete your project is by steady, time-proven and calculated methods that I have utilized, and now for many, many years.
I provide high-end custom services; from the most complex interior transformations imaginable to answering your most extravagant and seemingly impossible "asks". My work product comes at a cost that well reflects the stunning end work product.
