Our Story

Generational Craftsmanship Shaped by Faith and Family

The roots of Carpentry by Design stretch back decades, beginning with founder Ricky Robinson’s early years in a construction family. Raised in High Rolls, New Mexico, Ricky learned every aspect of the building trade from his father, absorbing a work ethic that values detail, endurance, and pride in a job well done. By his teenage years, he was already applying these lessons on real job sites, learning that true craftsmanship is measured by how long the work lasts and the satisfaction it brings to others. In 2012, Ricky brought this legacy to Tennessee, launching Carpentry by Design in Crossville to serve the evolving needs of local homeowners. Our company’s identity is grounded in the belief that every project is an opportunity to honor our heritage, serve our community, and work according to the biblical principles found in Colossians 3:17 and 3:23. For us, quality is not just a promise, but a mandate.
