Cincinnati's Master Craftsman

My name is Brent W. Sears, and I am Cincinnati’s master craftsman specializing in small-scale custom home projects and historical restorations. I handle specialty construction tasks that many other home contractors do not, including plasterwork, copperwork, marquetry, parquetry, millwork, historical windows, historical staircases, and antique restoration.  

I prefer to handle projects in my workshop and then ship the custom builds to you directly. My workshop is equipped with all the latest technology, designed to handle historical restoration projects perfectly. That includes an Altendorf sliding table saw, CNC robots, and many smaller pieces of high-tech gear that I use nearly daily. You can see some of these tools and machines in the sliding images on the home page. 

That said, in certain cases, Brendon and I will come out to your home or property if the situation calls for it, but in the vast majority of cases we will select projects that we can do in the shop. We are master craftsmen and take on the projects that interest us.  

The Old School Craftsman team wants to hear from you! Do you have a custom home build or historical restoration that you want to see done the right way? If quality in construction matters to you, click here to reach out, and let’s have a conversation!

Brent is an honest man who takes pride in his work. He is a pleasure to be around and interact with, and we are always blown away by what he creates. His goal is always to challenge himself with each build. When you work with Brent, you aren't just getting a contractor—you're gaining a friend. His work with his son, Brendan, is beautiful and intricate; they always find creative solutions to any problems they face. We wouldn't recommend anyone else!
