Meet the man behind Fifth Element Carpentry
Hi, I’m Tyler Pickett.
I’ve been bringing woodworking projects to life since the second grade, when I made a night stand that I still use to this day—and discovered my own fifth element, a love for woodworking.
I’ve worked in construction for over 20 years. I’ve built all parts of a home from one-of-a-kind wooden windows to custom kitchens, and everything in between.
I studied industrial design at Portland Art Institute to satisfy my curiosity about how humans interact with the objects around them, particularly old, unique, and bizarre objects.
I love learning the story behind every project I take on, and getting to know my clients is an extremely important part of my business and process.
How I work
I believe that heartless, profit-first carpentry and construction are a great evil, and everything about my customer-first business approach has been informed by that belief.
If you choose to work with me and my team, I’ll personally be on-hand throughout the project. This is not a subcontract-and-bolt kind of business.
Unlike most carpentry businesses, I only take on one client project at any given time. This ensures that you and your dream get my full attention—so you have nothing to worry about.
Want to talk about a project? Book a free, no-commitment call with me so we can get started bringing your project to life.
