Meet Chris Velasquez | Interior designs & woodworker

We had the good fortune of connecting with Chris Velasquez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Chris, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My wife and I come from Maryland. We have two years here in Houston, and we have been very blessed, we always had the vision of doing this kind of custom woodwork, we started by making upgrades in our house since Maryland, and came to find out people actually love it and want it in their houses. we are a Christian base company, and we are really thankful for the opportunity that people have given us to create special designs and memories.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Our work is to create special designs, and bring them to life, our work speak for our passion for interior designs, custom creations that will blow people faces. What set us apart, is probably what we offer, we offer not just one thing but we offer a variety of custom work, like custom kitchens, custom entertainment center, fireplaces, custom closets, accent walls etc.
It was not easy to get to were we are now but not hard too, since when people started recognizing our work and keep referring us to others. I want people to think about Wood By Chris like the guy who will create a lovely cozy, enjoyable environment and add value to their homes.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would take them to a restaurant I love in Houston call Latin Bites.
Will take them there to eat, then probably, would take them to the woodlands, there are many fun things to do in the woodlands. Like ride a boat on the canal, go to the mall. Etc

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I will love to thank a friend of us in md, (Marie) that always love our work and design even know we never thought it will all be part of our business. She will always talk to people about our entertainment centers, design etc. My wife, she always had this vision of making our designs our work. Love you baby.
