From a home garage to a 6,500 sq. ft. workshop.
A family business built on one belief: fine, handcrafted woodwork should be personal.
Ryan Schaad
Ryan entered the cabinetry business in 1996. Working for a cabinetmaker, he discovered a natural talent — and quickly fell in love with the art of woodworking.
That passion fueled the journey to open his own shop. Five years later, the dream became reality as he started Schaad & Sons out of his own garage.
Today the company is based in McConnelsville, Ohio, where Ryan and his wife, Jessica, live and raise their four children. What started in that garage has grown into a complete manufacturing facility and showroom, staffed by skilled, experienced craftsmen.
Yet the small-business heart is still obvious. Ryan personally works with every homeowner to ensure their satisfaction — and every project is completely customized, from the initial design and layout to the hand-finished, solid hardwoods.

Built one project at a time.
Growth never changed how we work — it just let us do more of it.

The Schaad & Sons difference
Personal design & attention
Working directly with your custom cabinetmaker will be one of the most rewarding parts of your renovation. You’ll receive unmatched service from consultation through installation.
Size matters
Small enough to focus our full attention on individual projects and details — large enough to meet demanding schedules, even on considerably extensive jobs.
Technology
We’ve fully embraced new technology and progressive manufacturing — delivering faster lead times and unsurpassed, consistent quality.
Solid hardwoods
Every project is built from select, high-quality solid woods chosen for grain, color and stability.
Hand-applied finishes
Stains, paints and glazes are applied by hand to bring out — never mask — the natural beauty of the wood.
Built to last
Furniture-grade construction backed by a clear warranty and honest guidance on caring for real wood.
Let’s design something that belongs only to your home.
