đŸȘšWhat We Do (Other Than Make a Huge Mess in the Shop)

At River Wood Custom Cabinets

Built from Scratch—Like Everything We Do

Riverwood Custom Cabinets started the way all great things do: with two friends, a shared love for woodworking, and one too many jokes in the shop that accidentally turned into a business plan. James and Chad have spent decades in the construction world, making sawdust and solving problems one project at a time.

One day, between the smell of fresh-cut lumber and the hum of a table saw, they asked, “What if we just did this full time?” A few weeks later, Riverwood was born—founded on the belief that good work, good people, and good coffee can take you pretty far.

And since we’re already pros at building things from scratch, we figured—why not build a whole business the same way?

Seemed like the logical next step
 and way more fun than buying a franchise.

Two Friends, One Dream, Countless Cabinets

Meet James.

James has been working with wood for as long as he can remember—starting with the toolbox he built at just six years old. From classrooms to office jobs, one thing remained constant: he was always creating something out of wood.

What began as a personal passion has now become a professional pursuit. With the support of their families, James and Chad are turning a lifelong love of craftsmanship into a second career through Riverwood Custom Cabinets—where every build is personal, and every detail matters.

Meet Chad.

For Chad, woodworking has always been more than a hobby—it’s a calling. When it came time to choose a career, he picked one that allowed him the time and flexibility to pursue that passion: firefighting. As a firefighter and paramedic, Chad spent years serving his community with grit, heart, and a steady hand.

Now, with retirement on the horizon and a lifetime of woodworking experience behind him, Chad is turning that passion into a second career through Riverwood Custom Cabinets. With God’s help (and a shop full of sawdust), he’s building more than just cabinets—he’s building a legacy of craftsmanship, one custom project at a time.

Custom Cabinets – From kitchens to built-ins, every piece is crafted to fit like it was always meant to be there.

Cabinet Installation – We don’t just drop off the cabinets—we install them with the same care we put into building them.

Cabinet Repair – Broken door? Sagging shelf? We’re not scared.

Storage Solutions – Pantries, laundry rooms, garages—if it needs organizing, we’ll build something better.

Commercial Builder Collaborations – We team up with home builders and contractors to deliver on-spec, on-time, and without the drama.

Fact #1: We Don’t Do Prefab—Ever.

Every cabinet we build starts as raw material and a solid idea. No pre-cut kits, no “close enough” sizing—just custom, from-scratch builds that actually fit your space and function like they should.



Fact #2: Our Cabinets Are Built Twice.

Once in CAD, and once in the shop. We design digitally first so you can see exactly what you’re getting—then we make it real, with wood, tools, and an occasional motivational playlist.

Fact #3: We Speak Fluent Builder.

Collaborating on a new construction or remodel? We know how to work with contractors, read blueprints, and hit deadlines without the chaos. We bring the wood, not the drama.
