RCS Millwork

What RCS Millwork does

RCS Millwork, L.C. is a family-owned commercial millwork fabricator headquartered in Ankeny, Iowa, operating from a single facility that also houses its in-house stone fabrication division (RCS Stone Co., added 2019). The company designs, fabricates, and installs custom architectural millwork — including casework, wall paneling, reception desks, and specialty architectural features — alongside integrated solid surface and quartz elements for commercial general contractors, developers, and design-build teams. Notable projects span hospitality (AC Hotel, Margaritaville, Wasabi, Prime & Providence), entertainment (B&B Theatres, Vibrant Music Hall), cultural and government (Joslyn Art Museum, Omaha Central Library), and financial/architecture (Blu Toro, Substance Architecture) environments, with all fabrication built to Architectural Woodwork Institute (AWI) standards.

The business runs on project-based, quote-driven commercial contracts awarded through enterprise field sales targeting GCs in the Midwest. RCS positions pre-construction engagement (drawing review, scope gap identification, and accurate budgeting) and detailed shop drawings as core differentiators, supported by in-house engineering, project management, and field coordination through installation. The company is bootstrapped and privately held by the Keller family; Dan Keller, who acquired the firm in 1997 when it was a three-person custom shop, is now largely retired, with day-to-day operations led by his children Joe Keller (President) and Betsy Hansen (Vice President) alongside a general manager and functional directors across pre-construction, engineering, project management, and production. The team has grown to approximately 100 members, supported by an in-house apprentice and internship program that signals a deliberate buildout of trade-craft capacity.
