Renaissance Restoration, Inc.
Carpentry Division

Did you ever wonder where that “old fashioned” carpenter went? You know, the guy who knew how to hand nail trim faster than we can do it with a nail gun. The man who can actually cope a joint, the worker who knows how to fix your windows, carpenters who care about the quality of the work. At Renaissance we have these men. Now we don’t claim that they will do it all with hand tools, we are well equipped. However, our dedication to quality is our watchword. Our men are trained in the methods of historic preservation, and they care very much for the outcome of your work.

Our Carpentry Division has several areas of expertise that are beyond the capabilities of most carpentry crews. We have extensive experience in the restoration of historic windows and doors. The installation of replica or custom millwork is also an area our crews have a great deal of experience with. We have acquired a lot of knowledge about the repair, and installation of wooden columns and pilasters. While we are not a timber framing company, we have been involved in many repair projects that involve historic timber framing. If you want a crew to install that new “old” storefront, or rebuild the dome on the Old Capitol, just call Renaissance Restoration.
