Chava Grain & Beam by Chava Home Design is a woodworking company founded in 2022 and based in Indian Trail, NC, specializing in custom ceiling beams, fireplace mantels and floating shelves built from real wood for homeowners, builders and designers across the Charlotte area. Every piece is measured, built in our own shop and installed by our team, usually about two weeks from production.
At Chava Grain & Beam by Chava Home Design, a specialized division of Chava Home Design LLC, we believe some of the most memorable details in a home are also some of the simplest. A beautiful wood beam can completely change the character of a ceiling. A handcrafted mantel can turn an ordinary fireplace into the centerpiece of a room. That is why we created this division: to focus specifically on building custom three-sided box beams, wood mantels, and architectural wood features with the attention to detail they deserve.

Charlotte-area homeowners usually choose between a store with installation, a reclaimed timber supplier, a general carpentry company, an online kit or a specialist shop. The difference is who builds the piece, what it is made of and who installs it.
| Option | Who builds it | Typical material | Who installs it | Beams, mantel and shelves matched |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Store with installation | Stock products sold as store items | Often molded foam beams | The store's installer | Rarely planned together |
| Reclaimed timber supplier | Supplies salvaged material | Reclaimed timber | Usually not their focus | Not their focus |
| General carpentry company | One service among many | Varies by job | Their crew | Rarely planned as a set |
| Online kit | Made in stock sizes | Foam, wood or reclaimed | You or a hired installer | No |
| Chava Grain & Beam by Chava Home Design | Our own Indian Trail shop, for your room | Real wood only | Our own team | Yes, in one wood and one stain |
