Out of the Woods

What Out of the Woods does

Out of the Woods (legal name: Out Of The Woods Custom Cabinetry) is a privately held, founder-led custom cabinetry and stone countertop fabricator headquartered in a single showroom and production facility at 1720 West Gordon Ave., Layton, Utah. Founded in 2000 by Tige Rhoades, who continues to serve as CEO and President, the company designs, fabricates, and installs made-to-order cabinetry and stone surfaces for residential and commercial customers across Northern Utah and the Salt Lake Valley. The product portfolio spans kitchen, bathroom, laundry, pantry, office, and commercial cabinets; bookcases and built-ins; wood and stone fireplace mantels and surrounds; and stone countertops in granite, quartz, marble, and quartzite, with multiple finishes and edge profiles. All fabrication is performed in-house using the company's own woodworking and stone operations, supported by a 3D Renoworks visualizer that lets customers preview designs before purchase.

The business operates a sales-led, direct-to-customer model anchored by in-person design consultations at the Layton showroom and free on-site estimates. Pricing is quote-based rather than published, with revenue generated on a one-time-project basis (custom fabrication plus professional installation). The customer base is split across three primary segments: residential homeowners, commercial businesses, and a B2B channel of home builders, developers, and restoration contractors — including at least 11 named accounts such as Woodmere Homes, Dixon Homes, Elite Craft Homes, Castle Creek Homes, Craythorne Homes, eVantage Homes, BLDGRN, Flint Custom Homes, CWT Construction, Paul Davis, and Utah Disaster Kleenup. Marketing is conducted through a content-rich website with project galleries and blog content, Google review management (4.6/5 across 357 reviews), YouTube testimonials, home builder referrals, and an ongoing run of regional awards (Best of State 2025; multiple Best of Northern Utah and Best of Davis County awards in 2023–2024 across cabinets, countertops, and customer service).

The company employs 101–250 people and is described as locally owned with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, funding rounds, or acquisition activity. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Geographic scope is deliberately narrow — confined to Northern Utah and the Salt Lake Valley — and the company has no public technology partnerships, APIs, or AI/ML capabilities. Strategic emphasis to date has been on incremental product-line expansion (commercial cabinets, custom stone projects, accessories), in-house fabrication capabilities, and reinforcement of regional brand equity rather than on geographic expansion, capital raises, or technology-platform plays.
