Pitter Patter Carpentry was founded in 2020 by Sam Dawdy and Clint Zugelder, two friends with complementary skills and a shared passion for craftsmanship. What started as a business focusing on decks and full remodels has evolved into a thriving company specializing in high-end custom cabinetry. We collaborate with designers, contractors, and homeowners to bring creative visions to life while ensuring exceptional quality on every project, big or small.

Together, we’ve built a strong foundation for Pitter Patter Carpentry—a partnership grounded in trust, respect, and teamwork. This foundation allows us not only to deliver outstanding results today but also to ensure the longevity and growth of our business in the years to come.
