About Ron Grandee Custom Wood & Glass
What began as a one-man workshop has grown into one of South Texas’ most respected custom woodcraft studios. Founder Ron Grandee built his first set of antique window frames in the early 1970s. Since then, his reputation for precision craftsmanship and integrity has earned him commissions from courthouses, churches, yacht builders, and private estate owners throughout Texas.
Our team works with a focused mission: to preserve the integrity and elegance of architectural spaces through detailed, durable, and beautiful woodwork. Whether replicating 19th-century moldings or crafting entirely new church altars, every project is approached with a blend of artistry and functionality. We blend historic knowledge with modern tools to create works that last generations.
Our Custom Woodworking Services
Ron Grandee Custom Wood & Glass offers a complete suite of woodworking services, from concept through installation and long-term care. We work on both restoration and new construction, ensuring every detail—from grain direction to hardware choice—matches your building’s design and era.

Antique Wood Windows & Doors
Restoring or replicating antique windows and doors requires precision, patience, and knowledge of historic building standards. We specialize in creating custom wood frames and sashes that match the character and proportions of older buildings, down to the smallest architectural detail.

Period-appropriate joinery and hardware
Weather-resilient finishes and glazing
Seamless integration with existing façades
Whether restoring courthouse transoms or replacing decayed frames on a 100-year-old residence, our goal is always the same: timeless durability and visual harmony.
Custom Church Altars
Our church altar work reflects sacred tradition and enduring craftsmanship. We work with congregations and preservation boards to create one-of-a-kind pieces that match liturgical function with handcrafted beauty.
Hand-carved altars, podiums, and lecterns
Custom detailing and finish tones
Integration with sanctuary architecture
Respect for historic and denominational elements
We understand the importance of sacred design. Our altars reflect the reverence and artistry your space deserves.


Window Arches & Architectural Millwork
Curved window arches, elliptical frames, and detailed trim require advanced tooling and artisan-level skill. Using steam-bending and custom jigs, we replicate original profiles and build brand-new installations that look like they’ve always belonged.
Steam-bent and laminated wood arches
Period-matched radius and profile design
Decorative casing, cornice, and curved molding
From courthouse windows to yacht porthole frames, no curve is too complex.

Our shop reproduces and designs new wood moldings that match any architectural era. Whether you’re restoring dentil trim in a Colonial home or adding grand baseboards to a new luxury build, we provide exact-match profiles with flawless fit and finish.

Matched or new profiles, custom-milled on-site
Stain-matched finishing and period-accurate details
Every piece is crafted with old-school pride—no shortcuts, no substitutions.
