Selected Portfolios
Every entryway presents distinct climatic weathering and period joinery. These completed commissions reflect our conservation standards across varied architectural vernaculars.
Material Integrity
Joinery, grain, and patina
Surface refinishing cannot compensate for failing substrate. We dismantle loose tenons, draw-bore timber dowels, and true seasonal distortion before applying traditional oil and wax conditioning systems.
Original escutcheons and cast ironmongery are methodically stripped of synthetic over-paint, gently stabilised, and refitted to original mortises so original mechanical action operates smoothly against harsh winter drafts.
Arrange an on-site entryway survey
We inspect exterior doors throughout Minneapolis and Saint Paul to assess seasonal movement, sill moisture, and restoration feasibility.
