Tim McGovern

Owner and Lead Carpenter

After many years in exploration geology, Tim found a calling in woodcraft after his wife, Chelsea, suggested they remodel their 1936 Thorman stone cottage. He loves the exacting process of building custom pieces and seeing ideas come to life.

Tim is a bonafide workaholic, but still finds time to jam out with his family band, The Hootenannies. The McGoverns have called San Antonio home since 2007, after graduating from Texas A&M University.

Chelsea McGovern

Designer & HR

Chelsea is also a trained exploration geologist and jack-of-all-trades. She and Tim met in mineralogy class during their sophomore year and the rest is history. She finds inspiration in every home she meets and is fascinated by the path homeowners (and their guests) take as they navigate through a house. She has a gift for seeing the unseen and finding ways to maximize living areas.

For Chelsea, every home has a story to be honored, and she loves working with homeowners to help them find their home's true north.
