Ceiling Beams in Ballantyne, Charlotte

Custom Beams for Ballantyne Living Rooms

In Ballantyne, the request we hear most is simple: make a room that was built like its neighbors look like it was designed for this family.

Ballantyne sits in the southern tip of Charlotte, in Mecklenburg County, a short drive from our Indian Trail shop. Ceiling beams are one of the few upgrades that change the character of a room without touching the floor plan, the walls or the kitchen. We build custom ceiling beams near Ballantyne as three-sided box beams built in our shop, so every visible side is real wood.

A Consultation in Your Own Room

Ballantyne homes vary in light: some rooms face the morning sun, others sit under deep porches. We bring wood and stain samples to your home and choose the color next to your floors and cabinets, in the light the beams will actually live in.

Beams and a Mantel That Belong Together

Many homeowners finish the room with a mantel to match your Ballantyne beams, built in the same species and stain on the same bench.

What We Build for Ballantyne Homes

Most Ballantyne projects start with ceiling beams and often add a mantel or shelves in the same wood.

Pairing Beams and a Mantel: A Planner

Beams and a mantel look best when they share one idea: the same species, a related stain and a size that fits each surface.
