The original details are worth keeping.

Here’s what it takes to keep them.

Most showrooms don't carry what a historic home actually needs. We do. Speedheater for safe paint removal. White River Hardwoods for matching original millwork. Vermont Natural Coatings for finishing wood the right way. Every line we carry was chosen because it respects what's already there.

Speedheater

Close-up of ornate, cream-colored architectural molding and archway with intricate carvings and decorative details.

Infrared heat that softens old paint without open flame, harsh chemicals, or unnecessary dust. The wood underneath stays intact. Lead exposure is reduced. Original millwork gets revealed rather than replaced. The right tool for anyone restoring a historic home the right way.

White River Hardwoods

A family-owned mill with over 3,200 moulding and millwork profiles drawn from original architectural precedents. When trim is damaged or missing, this is how you match it — precisely, at scale, in solid wood. No approximations.

Vermont Natural Coatings

Plant-based, non-toxic wood finishes that protect original surfaces without masking them. Low-VOC, honest materials, designed for wood that has earned the right to stay visible. The responsible finish for preservation work.
