Hello everyone, thanks for stopping by.
Carpentry by Meris is a small, hands-on carpentry and home repair company based and operating out of Skokie, IL. A little bit about Meris — he has been in the construction industry since 2009, taking on all sizes of projects and working with reputable companies along the way, gaining the experience and knowledge needed to eventually start his own carpentry business. Today, it is a small, solely operated company where you communicate directly with your carpenter and can text with questions instead of playing phone tag all day. Meris is organized, efficient, and takes pride in keeping your home protected while the work is being done. Once the job is finished, you get the chance to walk through everything, look it over, and make sure you're happy before taking care of payment. No pressure, no sales games, and no disappearing act — just personal service and good old-fashioned Midwest honesty. Work is provided throughout Deerfield, Evanston, Glencoe, Glenview, Highland Park, Lake Forest, Lincolnwood, Northfield, Skokie, Wilmette, and Winnetka.
Thanks for visiting.
Take a look around, see what we do, and if there’s a project around the house that needs attention, we’d be happy to talk about it.

The approach is simple: there’s no room for games, unnecessary runarounds, or complicated processes. The business is primarily operated by one carpenter, staying personally involved from the first conversation through the finished project. When a project calls for a few extra hands, there’s a small circle of family members and close friends who are always willing to lend a hand, along with trusted, properly licensed and insured professionals when needed. It keeps things personal, flexible, and straightforward while making sure the job gets done properly.
It’s a small company by design, and Meris believes that’s part of what makes the experience different. You’re dealing directly with the person doing the work—not passing through layers of salespeople, project managers, or a large crew.
His approach is built on honesty, integrity, clear communication, and doing what he says he’ll do. Meris believes good business comes from being straightforward with people, doing quality work, and standing behind it. To him, honesty isn’t just a principle—it’s what keeps customers coming back and recommending his work to others.
The goal is simple: do good work, treat people fairly, and build relationships that last beyond a single project.

We hired Meris to help us with our home office and couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

We hired Meris to help us with our home office and couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. He helped us plan out the custom ordered cabinets and built-ins, made all the bookshelves fit exactly how we wanted and even built a full pocket door to the size of the opening. Everything looks like it was made for the room because it was. Meris had a lot of good ideas along the way and paid attention to the little details.
