Tom Paoli, a native of Chicago, has nurtured a passion for woodworking since his early years. This passion took a professional turn in 1992, when he established Paoli Woodwork Inc. in his modest 2-car garage. Driven by a commitment to crafting unparalleled quality, the business quickly outgrew its initial setup, prompting a move to a larger facility in Franklin Park, Illinois, near O’Hare.

Over the span of 32 years, Paoli Woodwork’s trajectory of growth has been rooted in a dedication to excellence and precision. Today, the company operates from a 25,000 sq. ft state-of-the-art facility, a testament to its transformation from a solo venture into a collective of the industry’s finest craftsmen. At the core of Paoli Woodwork’s ethos is a commitment to delivering the highest quality, custom woodwork to a discerning clientele, readily taking on the most challenging projects with unparalleled craftsmanship.
