| Ironwood Restoration Preserving the past for our children's future. |
| Ironwood Restoration is a small building restoration company based in Marlow, NH. In a sentence, I specialize in preparing old buildings for their next century. My work palate includes buildings from the late 1700s through the 1950s, with a particular interest in buildings of the 1800s. The reputation of Ironwood Restoration is based on quality work and customer satisfaction. Whether evaluating a property’s existing condition, repairing or replicating decayed or damaged components, Ironwood Restoration considers matters of economy, longevity and aesthetics. Interior and exterior trim, moldings, and ornaments are matched precisely in profile and as close as possible in regards to species. All custom woodwork is produced in my shop in Marlow, NH. Some of my recent work includes a replication of a 1920's octagonal bandstand with an internal anchoring system, which I designed and installed (the original toppled in a severe windstorm). This structure also includes a unique inverted ceiling for acoustical enhancement. While restoring a church steeple recently, both traditional and modern methods were employed. Some structural timbers were replicated while others were repaired with structural epoxy. The exterior trim and ornaments were removed as necessary and stripped of paint. Components were assessed for damage and either consolidated or replicated as needed. The central goal of Iron-wood Restoration is twofold: building trust and customer satisfaction into every job; and maintaining the integrity and aesthetics of our built environment. By blending traditional building technologies with current and future technologies, we can keep buildings of old around for another century. |
