In addition to his role at Cavie & Co., Skylar is also a permanent part of the Cavanaugh family, having been adopted by John and Rachel. When he’s not building, he enjoys working on his cars, fishing, spending time with his family, and going to church.

“We ordered a custom mud bench and barn doors for our master bathroom. Overall amazing beginning to end. Communication on progress of the project was great. They installed today and very were friendly and the finished products look fantastic. We are already planning our next piece from them! ”

I was thrilled to utilize Cavie & Co for my client’s retrofit cabinet installation on either side of their fireplace. We wanted to tear out one side and start over and slightly change the other side. Johnny was really easy to work with, go back-and-forth on design modifications, and in the end, you would never, ever know it was a retrofit. Rachel was fantastic at keeping us updated during a couple of delays and our tear out/installation dates. We were always communicated with. The cabinets/shelves look amazing, like it was always installed, but it now meets my client’s entertainment center needs! Thank you!

“My husband and I ordered a custom dining room table and they made it exactly to our specifications! The table is not only beautiful, but was also very reasonably priced! We would (and have) recommend this furniture to anyone.”

“I have already recommended Cavie and Company to all of my friends. I’m in love and very happy with my purchase. Thank you! Hawaii, our home and my family will be enjoying your piece of art. ”

“I had the BEST experience with Cavie And Company. They took their time with me with all of my questions as I have never had a barn door, and the outcome was AMAZING! I WOULD RECOMMEND to check them out amazing product service and people. ♡”
— J.C. Bendorf
“One simple review does not do them justice. I had no idea what I was getting into when I was asking someone I had never met to make me a custom table. The customer service from beginning to end was above and beyond anything I could imagine. The quality of the table is impeccable. I don’t think I could EVER go buy furniture from a retail store again. The thought of bringing this table to our new house and raising a family and making memories around such an amazing piece of furniture is something I can’t put into words. Johnny and Rachel, thank you for everything!”
