Most homes don’t need more square footage. They need the space they already have to work better, and careful restoration and well-planned built-ins are often the most effective way to get there.
Many older homes in the Saratoga area have details worth keeping, such as turned newels, scroll-cut porch balusters and solid stairs under layers of paint. We repair what can be saved and build replacements to match.
Repair before replace
A worn stair, loose newel or failing porch rail can often be repaired, refinished or reinforced rather than replaced, which preserves the original material.
Built-ins that fit the room
We build benches, chests, bookcases and partitions to fit their location, aligned with the surrounding walls, windows and trim.
Ceilings and plaster
Cracked plaster ceilings can often be repaired or covered rather than removed. The tin-look ceiling on this page was installed over the original cracked ceiling.
Matching new work to old
Where a part cannot be saved, we make the replacement to match what remains, as with the new newel and rail at the landing of the restored staircase.
