Our main goal is simply to be the defining benchmark of our craft. We thrive on challenges, are passionate about design, relentlessly progressive we look to surpass the limits seen by our contemporaries and strive to produce finished projects of exquisite, enduring beauty. Never being satisfied with the status quo, we decisively search out the most productive way to give our clientele the finest woodwork their money can buy.
We have learned to balance cost effectiveness and quality work by being both attentive communicators and earnestly productive team players. When embarking on the design, fabrication and installation of quality woodwork we want to be a central part of your next project. When that time comes it will be evident that everyone at Chad Reitan Fine Woodworking wants you to love what we build for you as much as we love building it.

Our Bios
Chad Reitan CEO/Designer
Never one to side step a challenge Chad has made it his goal to accept and accomplish tasks others simply can't conceptually understand. Relentlessly motivated, and driven to push the limits, his desire to innovate translates into consistent efforts to surpass the norm, going above and beyond to develop and produce forward thinking and timeless projects. From his enigmatic youth building and riding skate ramps, Chad found great satisfaction drawing and sketching the reality he saw and creating functional forms in every shape and size. Unable to constrain his desire within a system that only showed him limits he jumped headlong into developing his own designs and started Chad Reitan FIne Woodworking. From small beginnings he quickly built a well respected and professional design firm and architectural fabrication business with a reputation for the highest quality work and superior customer service. An avid snowboarder Chad has spent many winters riding and exploring snow covered mountains from Southern California to British Columbia Canada. He spends downtime mountain biking, riding BMX park and has recently completed the design and installation of a complete automated Bio Diesel processing system, converting waste vegetable oil into true reactive, 100% green alternative bio-fuel.
