Meet the team behind Beahm & Son Ltd.
Richard Beahm
Richard “Rick” Beahm is the heart of the business and has been moving us forward for over 30 years. After taking over from his father and our founder, Don Beahm, Rick has been dedicated to growing the business while upholding the company’s fundamental dedication to always delivering the highest quality product. Rick has been working with cabinets and remodeling since he was a kid; with no formal college education, he learned everything about design from decades of practical experience. Years of learning what works and what doesn't work has shaped him into the designer he is today.
His philosophy can be summarized as such: “Design is about blending form and function. A room that functions perfectly can look beautiful, and a room that looks beautiful can still be functional. Nothing is outside of our capabilities.” When you work with Rick, you are receiving years of experience and creativity that have been built on a solid foundation of understanding the entire construction process of a job. He is uniquely qualified to deliver the best result possible through his combination of creativity, experience, and passion.
Corey Battles
Corey Battles joined Beahm & Son in 2014 as a Design Assistant and is the engineering brain behind all Beahm’s kitchen and bathroom projects. His education started with a Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design from Kent State University, as well as a semester studying design in Italy. Corey continued his education by working for a small custom cabinet shop in Ohio. His time there was invaluable, teaching him not only design and client interaction, but also the inner workings of cabinetry. He learned how cabinets are constructed, how they function, and most importantly, what doesn’t work.
As a Design Assistant, Corey handles all aspects of a project from site visits, to space planning and cabinet layout. He will pull together all the details of a project to create in-depth drawings for clients and the installers. All of this will help bring the project to life for the client and reinforce the details for the installers, making everything a little easier for everyone.
