In 1976 John DeSario founded Housewrights Incorporated and began his passionate journey of woodworking by building timber framed houses, then an almost forgotten art. With the use of large chisels, axes, hand planes and wooden mallets, devoted craftsmen like John sculptured these majestic wood beamed structures. Over the years John’s love of woodworking transpired in a natural progression to the design and building of custom cabinetry. 42 years later, Housewrights has become one of New England’s finest and most respected creators of high-end custom architectural millwork, including classical custom cabinetry and one-of-a-kind fine furniture.

Located in York, Maine, Housewrights promotes the reputation that New England’s craftsmen have gained as highly skilled and respected woodworkers. John selects only the most qualified craftsmen who are as passionate about their work as he is to join the Housewrights team. For over 42 years Housewrights has been providing clients with high-quality, hand made-to-last millwork and cabinetry, pristine art to be passed down and enjoyed from generation to generation.
