Arthur Schnell - Founder of Art's Custom Countertops the countertop installation company

Founder of Art’s Custom Woodworking in Cambridge in 1985. Being a skilled craftsman from Germany, Art started the company building stairs, cabinets, store fixtures and countertops. As the demand for countertops increased, Art and his son, Dave, decided to go full-time into the countertop field. Art retired after the sudden passing of his wife in 1998, selling his portion of the company to his partner and son, David Schnell. Art still comes in regularly to see how things are going.

Owner and partner with his wife, Beth. David went to college in 1985 for electronics and joined his father, Art, in 1987. Together they purchased the home at their present location in 1988. The shop was built in 1989. For many years, David and Art could be seen running from the shop to the office many times per day as they were only a three-man shop. Now that Art’s has grown a little larger, David takes the most pleasure sometimes in just cutting out counters and working on them in the shop, or in fulfilling his other business duties and vision.

Beth Schnell - Owner and partner of Art's Custom Countertops the countertop installation company
Owner and partner with David. As Art’s grew in the early years, Beth found it necessary to help do the paperwork. Beth and Dave started a family, so from this point Beth would update the books a few times a week or as necessary. She is involved behind the scenes. It was Beth who had the vision of expanding the shop in 2001. It was also the vision of Beth and her father, Robert Warren, to purchase the home next door, to widen the driveway, and to add much additional parking. We are waiting for her next vision. LOL.
