Growing up as a boy in Hampton, VA, Chad was always interested in building. Friends and family thought he would become an architect. Throughout high school, his parents gave him the freedom to remodel their attic into a light and spacious family room, build an octagonal deck and hot tub enclosure onto the back of their house, and complete many other wonderful projects.
During his college years at Dartmouth, Chad began to think about teaching. With a degree in hand, he landed a job as a high school teacher. That’s where he met his lovely wife Sue, a fellow teacher. After several years of teaching, Sue and Chad moved to Madison to pursue graduate degrees.
Chad began to support himself as a self employed remodeler during graduate school and soon hired friends and family to help complete his many projects. Though he loved his studies, Chad’s renewed interest in carpentry quickly proved more engaging than graduate school. As their children were born, Chad and Sue decided that a home remodeling business was something that they could do together, while balancing the needs of their family.
Today, Chad’s Carpentry has a staff of 9 talented individuals, including 5 carpenters in the field and 4 office personnel who are involved with estimating, design, sales, project management, and accounting. They proudly provide a wonderful set of benefits for their employees and continue to place a high value on education. As a company, Chad’s Carpentry offers educational opportunities to their staff as often as possible and, as a family, both Chad and Sue work with flexibility in mind and are fortunate to be able to spend time helping in their children’s classrooms. Chad trained and tested to become a NARI Certified Remodeler and three members of his staff – Les, Dave, and Scotty – worked very hard to become Certified Lead Carpenters. More of our carpenters are in class right now, working to earn their certification!
