Jeffrey S Behrends

Specialties

I am a friendly, energetic woodcrafter with a solid work ethic. I enjoy building long-​running relationships with my customers, and my work reflects this goal: When I finish a job, I want YOU to feel happier, to have less stress, and have a sense of accomplishment at a job well done.

I have an appreciation for the balance of function and form. I enjoy incorporating artistic elements into my projects whenever possible, and am happy to work with you to bring creative vision to your home through wood crafts.

I specialize in home woodcrafts including arbors, fences, railings, gazebos, trellisses, etc; custom shelving, tables, built in desks, storage solutions, etc. I particularly specialize in building custom traditional style gypsy wagons.

History

Established in 2005.

I trained on the job with a small home improvement company in Medford for several years. I then got my own General Contractor’s License and continued to work for them as a subcontractor for a year and a half. Eventually I started taking my own jobs and building a customer base. For five years I built my business entirely on customer referrals and repeat business. 75%+ of my business comes from existing customers — a testament to the quality and integrity of my work.

In 2011 I joined Ashland Business Connections, a local chapter of BNI. Due to the connections I made there, I was able to choose which types of jobs I wanted to take, and eventually gave up handyman work in favor of a focus on custom woodcraft.

My goal is to craft custom traditional style gypsy wagons full time.
