Built on Craftsmanship. Driven by Accountability.
About RCS Millwork
RCS Millwork began as Ray’s Cabinet Shop — a one-man operation in Ray’s garage that grew to a three-person custom shop built on craftsmanship and personal service. In 1997, Dan Keller purchased the business and continued its growth into the commercial millwork company it is today. As demand increased, RCS moved into its current facility in Ankeny in 2001, establishing a long-term home for the team and its expanding capabilities.
Today, RCS Millwork employs around 100 team members and continues to operate with the values and care of a family-run business. While Dan is now largely retired, daily leadership is carried forward by his children, Joe and Betsy, who maintain the culture of integrity, quality, and collaboration.
RCS Millwork is a full-service operation, capable of managing large, complex commercial projects from start to finish. In 2019, we added an in-house stone fabrication facility, enabling us to provide coordinated millwork and stone solutions under one roof. We intentionally take on projects that require detailed craftsmanship, thoughtful coordination, and a high level of precision
Our Commitment & Core Values
At RCS Millwork, our commitment is built on discipline, quality, and long-term relationships. We are a family-owned company that believes strong businesses are built on strong standards.
We approach every project with the mindset that details matter. From preconstruction through installation, no scope is too small to coordinate carefully and no timeline too important to protect. We build high-quality products, deliver on time, and operate with the understanding that our performance reflects directly on the partners who trust us.
Continuous improvement drives how we operate. We are always refining our processes, strengthening our systems, and investing in our people so we can perform at a higher level tomorrow than we did today.
We believe in setting others up for success. That includes our employees, our partners, and our customers. When expectations are clear, communication is proactive, and accountability is shared, projects run smoother and relationships grow stronger.
Above all, we follow through on our commitments, take pride in doing things the right way, and hold ourselves to standards that earn lasting trust.
These values have shaped who we are from the beginning—and they will continue to guide where we are going.
