Barnwood Beam Columns: Milled and reassembled in our in-house cabinet shop. Barnwood beams conceal existing steel Lally columns. Each column consists of 4 planks 8ft x 2” x 8” of reclaimed oak. Our client wanted to finish the basement of his home where he and his wife could enjoy the company of friends and family and spend time at a beautiful fully stocked bar and wine cellar, play billiards or card games, or watch a movie in the home theater. The cabinets, wine cellar racks, banquette, barnwood reclaimed columns, and home theater cabinetry were designed and built in our in-house custom cabinet shop. Our company also supplied and installed the home theater equipment.

Conversion of 1950s garage to energy efficient, high performance yoga studio with salvaged materials and barn aesthetic. Building was disassembled, brought up to modern structural standards, with taped seams and exterior insulation for increased airtightness and insulation value, and reassembled using materials from original building and other old growth redwood and douglas fir salvaged from northern california barns. Exterior features galvanized roof, barn lights and reused redwood shiplap siding over rain screen for improved durability and traditional California barn look. Interior features high performance windows, American Clay plaster walls, salvaged wood throughout comprising light soffits, window casing, stools, baseboard, cap, stairs and benches.

In this project. All the pre-existing woodwork (doors, trims, baseboards and bookcases) were taken down carefully and reassembled in order to maintain the old Cambridge house beauty. The owners did not like the idea of a TV dominating a space; of it being a focal point in a living room. So therefore we designed the sliding panel which displays one of their special paintings when the TV is not use. In an open concept living space, one challenge is creating a sense of separate rooms with different functions but with an overall “feel” of it being one. I believe we achieved that. The gold tones dining room chandelier and the teal wallpaper in the dining room, which is such a rich, inviting color, distinguishes that room from the kitchen but complements it, and then the teal chairs in the living room carry that color theme there.

This stained glass window was created as part of our signature Aspen Stained Glass line. These windows look beautiful in cottage style or contemporary homes and are a great way for outdoor enthusiasts to celebrate their love of nature. The textured appearance of the glass provides the homeowners with a high level of privacy and comfort.

In this project. All the pre-existing woodwork (doors, trims, baseboards and bookcases) were taken down carefully and reassembled in order to maintain the old Cambridge house beauty. The owners did not like the idea of a TV dominating a space; of it being a focal point in a living room. So therefore we designed the sliding panel which displays one of their special paintings when the TV is not use. In an open concept living space, one challenge is creating a sense of separate rooms with different functions but with an overall “feel” of it being one. I believe we achieved that. The gold tones dining room chandelier and the teal wallpaper in the dining room, which is such a rich, inviting color, distinguishes that room from the kitchen but complements it, and then the teal chairs in the living room carry that color theme there.

Nestled in the hills of Vermont is a relaxing winter retreat that looks like it was planted there a century ago. Our architects worked closely with the builder at Wild Apple Homes to create building sections that felt like they had been added on piece by piece over generations. With thoughtful design and material choices, the result is a cozy 3,300 square foot home with a weathered, lived-in feel; the perfect getaway for a family of ardent skiers. The main house is a Federal-style farmhouse, with a vernacular board and batten clad connector. Connected to the home is the antique barn frame from Canada. The barn was reassembled on site and attached to the house. Using the antique post and beam frame is the kind of materials reuse seen throughout the main house and the connector to the barn, carefully creating an antique look without the home feeling like a theme house. Trusses in the family/dining room made with salvaged wood echo the design of the attached barn. Rustic in nature, they are a bold design feature. The salvaged wood was also used on the floors, kitchen island, barn doors, and walls. The focus on quality materials is seen throughout the well-built house, right down to the door knobs.

A classic 1890's Victorian stair refurbishment, one of our more typical renovations. This one is in #Hoboken , NJ. Namely: >Existing treads, in this case, replaced with new 5/4" wide plank red oak treads. In many cases we re-use the original 150 or so year old treads. We can also use white oak, mahogany, Brazilian cherry, etc. >Stringers (diagonal main boards) remain intact. >Risers (vertical boards between treads) replaced with new paint grade risers, 3/4" thick. >The entire railing system is re-used, disassembled and reassembled as needed, but ultimately remains intact. >Often, while the balusters/ spindles are uninstalled for the rebuild anyway they are indexed, taken off-site, and are spray-painted in our studio. Makes for less mess, more accurate resolve, and a much more 'uptown' appearance! >Detail latticework on side of stringer created and installed to match the original woodwork. Small moulding under treads also replace in kind. - Life is too short to have funky stairs! Give us a call and let's get your stair refurbishment started! TheStairRepairExperts.com 201-798-0507
