Christopher Lenker - Owner

My name is Christopher Lenker, owner of Black Oak Building Company, LLC. I bring over 20 years of hands-on experience in residential construction, with a focus on custom carpentry, cabinetry, and detailed remodeling. I began working in construction at 17, learning the trade through a family of skilled carpenters and experienced mentors who shaped my respect for craftsmanship and precision.

I originally started this company in San Diego, California, after earning my General Contractor license in 2018, and continued building it after relocating to Middle Tennessee in 2021.  

Company Mission

At Black Oak Building Company, we believe great work begins long before construction starts. Every project begins with care, precision, and pride in the process from design to installation. From residential remodels to kitchen and bath renovations and custom millwork, true craftsmanship is found in the details and in the process of creation.
We work closely with each client to bring their ideas to life—through clear communication and attention to every step. Whether you already have a designer or we’re designing together, the goal is simple: to make sure the finished project feels exactly right for your home.
Serving Middle Tennessee, we stay personally involved from design through build and installation, ensuring every project meets the same standard of quality and care that defines our work.
