Comprehensive Restoration Services
Our historic wood restoration expertise encompasses a wide range of specialized services
Architectural Elements
We carefully restore wooden moldings, trim, doors, windows, staircases, and other architectural features that define historic buildings. Our team documents original details before beginning work, ensuring authentic reproduction of damaged components when necessary.

Decorative Elements
Intricate wooden carvings, paneling, beams, and other decorative features receive careful attention from our restoration team, who understand the stylistic nuances of different historical periods and regional variations.
Our Restoration Process
Restoring historic woodwork requires specialized knowledge and a patient, methodical approach
Assessment and Documentation
We begin with a thorough examination of the piece’s condition, construction methods, and historical context, documenting existing features before any work begins.
Development of Restoration Plan
Based on our assessment, we create a detailed restoration plan that prioritizes conservation over replacement while addressing structural issues that threaten the piece’s longevity.
Gentle Cleaning and Stabilization
Using the least invasive methods possible, we remove accumulated dirt and unstable finishes while stabilizing loose components.
Structural Repairs
When necessary, we address structural issues using historically appropriate joinery techniques and compatible wood species.
Surface Restoration
Depending on the piece and client goals, we may conserve existing finishes or apply new period-appropriate finishes using traditional materials and techniques.
The Value of Professional Historic Wood Restoration
Investing in professional historic wood restoration offers numerous benefits:
Historical Authenticity: Our knowledge of period-specific woodworking techniques and materials ensures that restorations remain true to the original craftsmanship and design intent.
Preservation of Value: Properly restored historic woodwork maintains or increases its monetary and cultural value, whereas improper restoration can permanently diminish both.
Sustainability: Restoring existing wooden elements is inherently environmentally friendly, reducing the need for new materials and honoring the embodied energy in historic pieces.
Continuity of Craftsmanship: By practicing and preserving traditional woodworking methods, we help ensure these skills and knowledge continue for future generations.
