infoAbout Keeler Carpentry

Starting with raw lumber, finished by hand.

For more than 25 years, Chad Keeler has specialized in high-end residential remodeling for Central Ohio homeowners who care about how a space is built, not just how it looks on opening day.

Every project is created from the ground up — starting with raw lumber and finished by hand into cabinetry and built-ins that are made to last. No catalog parts, no shortcuts, no prefab boxes.

Our Processarrow_forward
constructionWhat We Build

Six categories. One standard.

We focus our craft on the residential work we know inside out. Every project gets the same detail whether it's a full kitchen or a single built-in.

routeOur Process

How We Build Your Project.

Four clear steps, from the first on-site visit to the final walk-through. No mystery, no guesswork — you know exactly what happens and when.

01
forum

Free On-Site Consultation

We come to your home, walk the space with you, and talk through your goals, timeline, and budget. You'll have a clear sense of scope before we leave — no cost, no commitment.

02
architecture

Design & Spec

We lock in layout, materials, finishes, and hardware, then put it all in a fixed written quote with detailed sketches and finish samples. You approve every detail before a single board is cut.

03

Build & Install

Our in-house carpenters handle demolition, rough-in, installation, and finish work, and we coordinate permits, inspections, and any trades. Clean, organized job site — every single day.

Punch List & Handoff

We walk every door, drawer, and reveal with you before we call it done, and handle any final touches on the spot. Your 5-year workmanship warranty starts the day we hand it off.

Custom white kitchen with island by Keeler Carpentry
★★★★★

"Chad's attention to detail is truly unmatched. He went to great lengths to match the stain on the custom appliance panels — the result is seamless. You'd never know they weren't part of the original cabinetry."

helpCommon Questions

Got a question before the first visit?

The answers homeowners ask most often before booking a consultation. If yours isn't here, just call — we'd rather answer it on the phone than leave you guessing.

A custom kitchen runs 6–10 weeks from demo to punch list. Finished basements average 8–14 weeks. Built-ins and millwork run 2–6 weeks depending on scope. Every quote includes a written timeline we stick to.
For most projects, we handle the design in-house — layout, materials, finishes, hardware. For whole-home additions or structural work, we'll coordinate with a licensed architect and engineer. Either way, you only work with us.
Every project is quoted individually — a single built-in is a very different investment than a full basement finish, so we don't price from a menu. After a free on-site consultation, you get a fixed written quote with a detailed scope. No hourly games, no surprise add-ons, no numbers pulled out of the air.
Yes. Fully licensed in Ohio, fully insured for general liability and workers' comp. We're also BBB accredited with an A+ rating. We'll provide certificates of insurance before the project starts.
Every project is backed by a 5-year workmanship warranty — double the Ohio standard. If a joint fails or a finish lifts because of our work, we fix it. The warranty covers workmanship only; it excludes physical damage, misuse or neglect, normal wear, and appliances or mechanical/electrical items, which carry their own manufacturer warranties.
Absolutely. If we have an active project where the homeowner is comfortable with a visit, we'll set it up. Seeing a build mid-stream is often the best way to judge whether you want us in your house.
