Architectural timber restoration

We revive original solid wood exterior doors across Minneapolis and Saint Paul, preserving old-growth grain, truing seasonal joints, and conditioning entrances against harsh regional winters.

Core Services

Specialised entryway care

Every historic entrance presents distinct joinery demands, from surface timber oxidation and finish degradation to seasonal settling.

Timber refinishing

Joinery truing

Hardware restoration

Removal of failed exterior coats, deep grain nourishment with breathable drying oils, and hand-rubbed UV finishes resilient to winter frost.

Dowel stabilisation, mortise-and-tenon repair, and seasonal hinge alignment to eliminate draft gaps without shaving historic timber stiles.

Mechanical servicing of historic mortise locksets, brass threshold adjustments, and gentle hand-patination of original bronze fittings.

Preservation Standard

A century of old-growth timber deserves repair, not replacement.

Original Douglas fir and white oak entrances possess wood grain density unobtainable today. We protect architectural character through measured, restorative craftsmanship.
