At Coast Carpentry, building isn’t just a job—it’s a way of life. Founded by Chris Duffy, a lifelong carpenter with deep roots in the trade, our company is driven by passion, craftsmanship, and a commitment to creating one-of-a-kind spaces.
At Coast Carpentry, we hold true to the values that built this trade—hard work, integrity, and attention to detail. But we take it a step further, combining time-tested craftsmanship with modern design and high-end materials to create spaces that are not only built to last, but built to inspire. Every project reflects the pride we take in our work and the passion we have for doing things the right way—no shortcuts, no compromises.
Owner Chris Duffy is involved in every project from start to finish. With a personal commitment to quality and craftsmanship, he’s on-site, leading the process and ensuring each detail lives up to the Coast Carpentry standard.
We take your peace of mind seriously. Coast Carpentry is fully licensed and insured in New Jersey, so you can feel confident knowing your home and investment are protected throughout the entire project.
Chris’s journey began at just 10 years old, working alongside his family of tradesmen and learning the value of hard work with his hands. After high school, he dove headfirst into the world of custom homebuilding under the guidance of his uncle—gaining hands-on experience in every aspect of the trade, from framing and siding to fine interior trim. His path eventually brought him to the Jersey Shore, where he sharpened his skills further with Leeds Builders and stepped into project management roles.
But something was missing. Chris always dreamed of building more than just structures—he wanted to build a business rooted in passion, precision, and personal connection. That dream became Coast Carpentry.
Today, our mission is simple: to design and build creative, custom spaces that leave a lasting impression. From the first conversation to the final detail, Chris is involved every step of the way. We’re here to bring your vision to life while delivering an experience you’ll always remember—and hopefully, passing down the craft to the next generation of skilled tradesmen along the way.
At Coast Carpentry, we're not here to do what everyone else is doing—we're here to do it better.
