About RVA Woodwork
Craftsmanship backed by real construction experience.
RVA Woodwork was founded by Evan Howard, a residential construction project manager and experienced carpenter with more than 18 years in the construction industry.
That experience brings more than woodworking skill to each project. It brings planning, coordination, material knowledge, site awareness, and a clear understanding of how custom work needs to integrate with the rest of your home.
- Direct communication from estimate through completion
- Designs tailored to your room, storage needs, and style
- Attention to fit, finish, durability, and installation
- Respect for your home, schedule, and investment

Frequently Asked Questions
What to expect before getting started.
What areas do you serve?
RVA Woodwork serves Richmond, North Chesterfield, Midlothian, Henrico, and nearby communities in Central Virginia. Larger projects outside the primary service area may be considered.
Do you provide free estimates?
Initial project conversations and preliminary estimates are free. Complex projects may require an on-site consultation or design deposit before final pricing.
How much does custom woodworking cost?
Pricing depends on dimensions, materials, finish, design complexity, site conditions, and installation requirements. The quote form helps collect enough information to establish a useful starting point.
Can you match existing cabinetry, trim, or finishes?
In many cases, yes. Existing profiles, paint colors, stain tones, and architectural details can often be matched or closely coordinated.
How far in advance should I reach out?
Four to eight weeks before your preferred start date is a good target, although lead times vary based on project size and current workload.
