We have been working in an old house that is dated back to 1909.

One of the gems of an old house is when the original floors can be saved. ?

Here is stair way job that needed redone. The old Newel posts were replaced with box newels and the balusters were replaced with metal balusters. The handrails and stair treads were stained to match the flooring that will be installed by others.

We finished up the stairway and foyer this morning. The floor and stair treads are antique heart pine.

We completed a stairway and handrail job. The homeowner ripped the carpet off the stairs and took down the base newel post because it was so wobbly. He wanted a more modern look for the handrail. He went with having horizontal bars and we made the newel posts and new handrail. For the steps we installed the stair treads and risers. The homeowner was quite delighted to have a more solid handrail! ?

Here are a few pictures of the recent floor we refinished. They were quite drab. The homeowner wanted the floors stained a medium brown which complimented the color of the walls they painted.

There was a house in the city that needed vestibule doors. We were asked to make them along with the transit above the doors. The tenant wanted the hardware of the new doors to match the existing outside doors.

We installed them and the tenant painted them.

A couple is expecting a little boy and they wanted to decorate the nursery with the boy’s name. They asked for it to be 6 inches tall and chunky cut out.

Custom woodworking, that’s what we do.

This homeowner was in need of new newel posts. Her cat claimed them and sculptured them.

We were able to make them and install them.

We then stained and finished the post to match the rest of the hand rail and balusters. We were able to pull out the old newel posts and insert the new ones.

Needless to say, the homeowner put aluminum foil over the new posts to keep the car from sculpturing the new posts.
