đȘWhat We Do (Other Than Make a Huge Mess in the Shop)
At River Wood Custom Cabinets
Built from ScratchâLike 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, âWhat if we just did this full time?â A few weeks later, Riverwood was bornâfounded on the belief that good work, good people, and good coffee can take you pretty far.
And since weâre already pros at building things from scratch, we figuredâwhy 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 rememberâstarting 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 Cabinetsâwhere every build is personal, and every detail matters.
Meet Chad.
For Chad, woodworking has always been more than a hobbyâitâs 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 Godâs help (and a shop full of sawdust), heâs building more than just cabinetsâheâs building a legacy of craftsmanship, one custom project at a time.

Commercial Builder Collaborations â We team up with home builders and contractors to deliver on-spec, on-time, and without the drama.
Fact #1: We Donât Do PrefabâEver.
Every cabinet we build starts as raw material and a solid idea. No pre-cut kits, no âclose enoughâ sizingâjust 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 youâre gettingâthen 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.
