Old wooden buildings and other architectural salvage packaging

We are often asked: "Where you get your architectural salvage materials such as wood, windows, leaded glass, etc.?".

Normally we hear about the architecture as salvage an old barn or building for demolition. We submit an offer to the structure, having regard to the parts and how they fit together. The architectural salvage material in our antique barn in Kennebunk, Maine, is inventoried and resold as architectural artifacts. In some cases, we assume architectural salvage wood from the walls or floors, and new pieces, a process we call regeneration.
Here is our original architectural salvage barn before they dismantled and moved.

Our experienced craftsmen human architectural salvage lumber from floors or walls, antique wood paneling and other architectural artifacts and salvage as well as new decorative pieces. The beauty and timelessness of the ancient wood brings warmth and character to new and old houses alike. Some ideas from our employees:

* Garden Playhouse or tool shed, all signs, yard
* Bookends or shelf brackets from the old exterior trim parts
* Garden grille from an old window frames without glass
* A headboard handmade from old doors
* A screen porch of a Victorian portico
* Shadow boxes crafted from old barn-board with clock parts, old keys or Türknäufe

Pictured above are just some examples of our work. Most were built to order.
