What Perrin Woodworking does

Perrin Custom Woodworking (DBA: Perrin Woodworking) is a family-owned custom woodworking company founded in 1999 by Dan A. Perrin, Jr. in the South Carolina Lowcountry and now co-led with Katherine J. Perrin. Operating from a single workshop at The Shed, 809 Paris Ave in Port Royal, SC, the business fabricates bespoke wood products across three core lines: residential cabinetry (kitchens, baths, built-ins), commercial interiors for restaurants, hotels, offices, and retail (booths, banquettes, bar tops, cabinetry, wall paneling), and handcrafted tables (live edge, trestle, conference, specialty). Supporting services span project estimation, hand-drawn renderings and workshop drawings, furniture and cabinetry design, premium wood finishing, professional delivery, and installation.

The underlying production model is artisanal: time-honored joinery, traditional craftsmanship, and a Mobile Milling Program that allows the company to salvage and process timber on-site, giving it access to hard-to-source materials including a large inventory of live edge slabs. The company also operates a Lumber Sails division that extends into lumber sales and mobile milling services. Technology inputs are limited to standard woodworking tools and a Squarespace-hosted website; there is no disclosed software platform, automation, or AI capability.

Revenue mechanics are project-based and consultative: pricing is determined per project through consultation, with no public pricing disclosed. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer, primarily via the workshop, the company website, an active Instagram presence, and a referral network of interior designers, architects, and contractors. Customer mix is split between individual residential homeowners (mid-market) and commercial/hospitality clients including O-Ku Raleigh, Oak Steakhouse (Atlanta and Charlotte), The Dewberry, Edmund's Oast, The Granary, Leon's Oyster Shop, and others, with project footprint covering Charleston, Charlotte, Columbia, Augusta, and Atlanta. The company is privately held with no external institutional funding and remains founder-operated.
