Expert Wood Stripping for Prewar NYC Buildings

Wood stripping is one of our founding specialties. For over 30 years, we've been restoring historic woodwork to its original glory, revealing the beautiful grain and character hidden beneath layers of paint and varnish.

We use a combination of traditional hand-scraping techniques and carefully selected chemical strippers to safely remove old finishes without damaging the wood underneath.

Our craftsmen understand the unique properties of different wood species commonly found in prewar buildings and adjust their techniques accordingly.
