Philadelphia Architectural Woodworkers Association

The Philadelphia Architectural Woodworkers Association (PAWA) consists of contractors who take the extra steps needed to be a reliable resource for specifiers and the construction community. We are often asked to provide expertise and creative solutions for architectural millwork and custom woodworking challenges. PAWA contractors hire millwork professionals from Local 359 of the Metropolitan Regional Council of Carpenters. These workers are trained and tested during a four-year apprenticeship program that stresses skill, productivity and attitude. PAWA contractors share common goals with project owners: Quality work done on time, on budget, and according to the unique specifications of the custom millwork. The primary service area for PAWA contractors ranges from New York through Maryland. Some projects, however, have taken us throughout the United States, and even to Russia.
