Ooltewah, Tennessee
Custom furniture, carpentry, cabinets, and milling — built by hand, by the man who answers your phone. Serving Ooltewah, Chattanooga, and the surrounding area.
The Shop
River City Wood Co. is a sole proprietorship run by Brian Daniel, working out of a garage shop at 8299 River Birch Loop in Ooltewah. Every piece of furniture, every cabinet, every repair — it's built by the same set of hands, start to finish. No crews handed off between jobs, no runaround. Just direct, hometown craftsmanship.
Recently, Brian co-purchased a sawmill — meaning River City Wood Co. now mills its own lumber in-house, giving full control over species, cut, and quality from raw log to finished piece.
What We Do
One-of-a-kind tables, benches, and built pieces designed and built to fit your space and your life.
Trim, molding, built-ins, and detail work finished to a standard that holds up to a close look.
Kitchen, bath, and shop cabinetry built to your measurements — not pulled off a shelf.
Bring damaged or worn furniture back to life — structural repair, refinishing, and restoration.
Home repairs, installations, and general contracting for the projects on your list that need a reliable hand.
In-house sawmilling for custom dimensional lumber, slabs, and specialty cuts — sourced and cut to order.
Custom wood decor, arches, signage, and rustic accents built for your wedding day and made to keep.
For Contractors & Businesses
Skip the account managers and subcontractor chains. You talk directly to the person building your project, every time.
With our own sawmill, we control material from raw lumber to final cut — custom species, dimensions, and slabs a big-box shop can't source on short notice.
One name is on every job. No handoffs, no finger-pointing between crews — just a craftsman with his own reputation on the line.
Based in Ooltewah, invested in Chattanooga. We're building a name in the same community we live in — not managing a territory.
