Speedheater
Speedheater is a one of a kind restoration tool designed to remove paint safely and responsibly from historic surfaces. Using infrared heat rather than open flame or harsh chemicals, it softens layers of old paint while preserving the original wood beneath. This low-impact process reduces dust, limits lead exposure, and protects delicate millwork, making it especially valuable in historic home restoration. For homeowners and professionals alike, Speedheater allows original architectural details to be revealed, repaired, and reused rather than replaced, honoring the integrity of the home while supporting safer, more thoughtful restoration practices.
Available in Chicago exclusively at Heritage Home Supply.
White River Hardwoods
White River Hardwoods is a family-owned mill uniquely equipped for historic home restoration, offering more than 3,200 in-stock moulding and millwork profiles drawn from original architectural precedents. This unmatched library allows damaged or missing trim to be repaired or replicated with precision, preserving the scale, proportion, and character of historic interiors. By producing solid wood mouldings using traditional methods and domestic hardwoods, White River Hardwoods makes it possible to restore original details rather than replace them with approximations. Their depth of inventory and commitment to accuracy make them an essential resource for preservation-minded homeowners and professionals alike.

Vermont Natural Coatings
Vermont Natural Coatings is a family-owned manufacturer dedicated to creating finishes that protect historic materials without compromising health or integrity. Using innovative, plant-based technology, their coatings are non-toxic, low-VOC, and designed to preserve the natural beauty of wood rather than mask it. This makes them especially well suited for historic home restoration, where original surfaces are meant to be conserved, not sealed under harsh chemicals. Vermont Natural Coatings offers a safer, more responsible way to finish and protect wood, supporting long-term preservation through thoughtful, environmentally conscious craftsmanship.
