Services

What we do

Four service lines, deeply specialized. Every piece of wood we touch is handled by a craftsman who has worked on landmark buildings.

I. Doors

Original wood entry & interior doors

From front entry doors that anchor a brownstone's facade to interior doors with original mortise locks — we restore wood doors to their original character while engineering them for modern reliability.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

  • Wood door stripping (chemical and mechanical)
  • Structural repair with restoration-grade epoxy consolidation
  • Original brass and bronze hardware care, cleaning, and re-plating
  • Mortise lock servicing and key fitting
  • Period-appropriate finish systems (oil, varnish, lacquer)
  • Transom and fanlight glazing where applicable
  • Weather-tightness improvements without compromising original character

II. Windows

Sash & double-hung window restoration

Replacement windows look wrong on historic homes and rarely outlast a quality restoration. We restore originals — and add discreet storm windows for thermal performance.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

  • Sash window restoration — both sides, hand stripped to original wood
  • Wood frame and sill repair with epoxy consolidation
  • IGU (insulated glass) reglazing where existing single-pane glass is replaced
  • Rope-and-counterweight mechanism restoration
  • Storm window addition with period-appropriate profiles
  • Glazing compound application and weather-stripping
  • Custom replication of severely damaged elements when needed

III. Floors

Plank, parquet, and period floor restoration

The original floors of your home — heart pine, white oak, quarter-sawn, parquet patterns — are part of its character. We restore them rather than replace them.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

  • Floor stripping (mechanical sanding with dust containment)
  • Board repair and replacement (matched species when needed)
  • Parquet repair — pattern matching and re-fitting
  • Color restoration and stain matching to original
  • Hand-rubbed oil finishes (traditional Tung, Linseed)
  • Modern polyurethane systems when appropriate
  • Heart pine reclamation for irreparable sections

IV. Stairs

Grand staircase restoration

A grand staircase is the architectural centerpiece of a townhouse or brownstone. Treads worn down by 140 years of footsteps, balusters loose in their mortises — these are structural issues, not cosmetic ones.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

  • Tread and riser restoration (or replacement when damaged beyond repair)
  • Baluster repair and re-fitting in original mortises
  • Newel post structural reinforcement
  • Handrail refinishing and joinery repair
  • Original carved or turned element matching
  • Period-appropriate stain and finish
  • Squeak elimination through traditional re-joining techniques
