We could not be more happy with our build from the Rydawell team. From their excellent two way communication to the quality craftsmanship, all phases of our project surpassed our expectations. We really appreciated the guidance they gave, avoiding costly mistakes. Amelia is our dream van and we look forward to lots of adventures in comfort and style in the coming years!

Great customer Service! We've been building our van on a small budget and Rydawell has continuously respected that. They designed and installed our electrical system and have gone above and beyond to help make recommendations, order materials and guide us through our at home build. Electrical system is working great and we couldn't be happier with our choice to work with Rydawell.

Ryan is a true craftsman! He was very responsive to any questions I had while he had my van, and kept a detailed log of what specific things he worked on and time spent on specific aspects of the build. I'm grateful that he was willing to work with me as my van was to tall to fit in his shop (I rented a parking space outside his shop so he could work on it outside) and his willingness to work on my partial build out. The wood work is above and beyond, I couldn't recommend working with Ryan more! It was a true pleasure.

I found Ryan through a Google search and am so glad I did. I inquired about him building a platform bed with drawers for my daughter's room and he responded quickly. We iterated a few times on the general concept, then he came to look at the space, finalize measurements, talk about wood types, and then he finalized the price on the spot.We loved the bed so much that we asked him to also build a built-in credenza for our entryway. Again, the process of measuring, designing, and pricing it took just a few iterations, and a few weeks later, we had a beautiful credenza installed!I can't say enough about working with Ryan. He does really high quality work, is a great communicator, and sets and meets timelines. I am already looking around thinking about other projects we could use him for!

Amazing work! If you appreciate fine woodworking Ryan is definitely the guy to see. He did an amazing job on my van build. The cherry and mahogany cabinets are so beautiful, and everything in the van has held up great. Would highly recommend!

We wanted a table made of solid cherry with a very simple design. Ryan made exactly what we wanted. The craftsmanship is stunning. It was a pleasure to work with him. He delivered it on time. It's beautiful and we love it. Thanks, Ryan!

I dreamt of creating a van with Rydawell as my builder 4 years ago. In 2023 that dream became a reality, and I finally picked up my van in January.The best decision I made the whole way was deciding on Rydawell as my builder.Couldn't have asked for a better experience.Ryan and his team brought all of their knowledge and wisdom to the table and helped guide the design + execution. Their expertise has made hitting the road a seamless digital nomad experience.The initial design, to the build and final budget--Ryan documents and explains it all with transparency.The woodworking really sets apart the look and feel of the builds, but the process I believe is what makes Rydawell the best van builder out there.The team can execute a custom design--even one as complicated as mine, to perfection.The pics speak for themselves! If you are on the fence of who to pick to do your build, I hope this review tips you Ryan's way. Such a brilliant builder. You won't be disappointed.Service: General carpentry & cabinetry services

Ryan & the team were great to work with! I had them add 2 bunk windows to my van and it was ready to pick up the next day. The cost was economical & the quality was great. Ryan also showed me around some of the vans they re working on which was very cool to see as diy er. He was also very informative around the diy process & gave me some floor product suggestions. 10/10 would use their services again.

We had a Sprinter Van (Atlas) built by Rydawell, and we can't say enough about how great the experience was. Ryan and his whole team are great. The entire process was very well communicated, and we were involved throughout the build to ensure everything was exactly how we wanted it. From the custom cabinetry, to every details inside and out, we love our new van, using it almost every weekend for adventures.

We highly recommend Ryan for your woodworking needs! We are in the process of remodeling out home and needed a custom-build island to fit our 144in x 30in butcher's block. We found Ryan for this project and he exceeded our expectations! He was easy to communicate with, met with us and discussed our design needs, delivered in a timely manner as promised. And end-project is ABSOLUTELY stunning! Beautiful craftsmanship! The maple wood surface is so smooth, beautiful grain, excellent construction, very sturdy. Could not be happier! Thank you Ryan!

What a seamlessly easy and collaborative process from beginning to end it has been working with Ryan. From his prompt response to our online inquiry about a built-in cabinet project idea, to his site visit and on going communications along the way it has been wonderful to work with such a quality craftsman. The cabinet quality surpassed our expectations but the finished details put into the installation and integration into our space put the whole project over the top for us. Now we are daydreaming new project ideas to bring to Ryan! Immensely happy and looking forward to more collaborations.

Ryan at Rydawell went out of his way to help us with a wood working project. We had a large piece of reclaimed wood that need to be cut down for a furniture project and none of the other many lumber stores or wood shops wood attempt to cut a piece of lumber that was 7 x7 .I contacted Ryan and he made it a priority to take care of our project. He went above and beyond our expectations sanding down the wood and preparing it for us to use.Can t say enough about how professional and kind the individuals are at this business. We highly recommend them for anyone looking at small or larger high end wood working projects.Ash

I've worked with a lot of woodworkers over the years, and Ryan from Rydawell is easily the most pleasant, seamless and professional experience I've had by leaps and bounds. The level of craftsmanship is unreal. The communication was never strained. Last minute changes to our design were made on the fly. Our deadline was met with time to spare. I cannot recommend them enough.

I had a small wood project and gave Rydawell Builds a call. Ryan answered and asked me to describe my project and if he couldn t help, he d help me find a place that could. After explaining what I needed, he asked me to drop the project by and he called me back that same day and it was done. He was extremely helpful and very communicative. I look forward to taking my business back to him and his friendly team.

This was an incredible experience. Ryan worked closely with us to figure out exactly what we had in mind, sketched and modeled the piece so we'd be able to intelligently discuss every part of it, and kept engaged with us throughout the design, building, and installation.Our request was somewhat unusual: a free-standing, movable kitchen island with a large pull-out table that can pull all the way out and move around independently. Ryan dove into this unusual plan with gusto, and implemented it with such elegance and solidity that you'd think he'd done it dozens of times before. We use the piece daily, and couldn't be happier with it! We're looking around the house to see what other custom builds we could use...

John is a true craftsman. We live in an old Victorian with sloping floors and no perfect right angles anywhere. We needed a door made for our kitchen and John was very careful to get the shape perfectly right. The door is beautiful, John is a real pleasure to work with. It doesn't hurt that he has a very good sense of humor!

Ryan is friendly, skilled and good businessman. I'm very happy with the process and final quality of my table.
