RL Custom
Homes now offers reclaimed wood material for re-surfacing cabinets and
accent trim
in kitchens, living rooms and outdoor kitchens. This use of reclaimed materials
is both good for the environment and adds a unique look and feel to any
remodeling project.
Reclaimed wood and other
materials has become a popular choice for cosmetic finishes including
cabinets, flooring, siding, fencing, and furniture. Repurposed lumber is
also a good choice for framing, countertops in the the kitchen or living
areas and most outdoor patio fixtures and furniture.
Reusing lumber is one of
the best ways to keep perfectly good wood products from ending up in the
dump. Because of the aging process and weathering effects these reclaimed
panels or planks have, we can achieve a unique look and give your projects
a custom finish. The rich looking character and imperfections found in
reclaimed wood sets off any room.
We choose only hardy pieces
of wood or other reclaimed materials with an eye to safety. Painted
wood of the past may have lead based paints or other saw mill treatments.
We know what to look for and make sure those products are not used in your
home or business.
How we work:
-
Meet with client to discuss
options and type of reclaimed material they want to use and where
-
Measurements and design is performed
-
We develop a quote based on
your requirements and availability of material
-
Material is then purchased and
readied for installation
-
Most work is done off site,
prepping the lumber, installing hardware, etc.
-
In-home installation and final
finishing touches are done
-
We instruct the client in any
care or maintenance required, a sealant is applied to minimize any
surface damage and preserve the natural look of the reclaimed wood.

RL Custom Homes works
with lumber that has been “reclaimed” from old buildings, furniture and
paneling.
Once you discover the organic elegance and rich texture of aged and weathered
wood, you will appreciate the uniqueness and sustainability of using this
type of building material.
We typically leave the reclaimed
lumber in it's natural state, rustic and raw, though some projects look
better with a bit of cleaning and enhancing in order to bring out color
and grain features
Select from gray and brown
barn boards, reclaimed oak and pine, American chestnut, black walnut, cherry,
maple. We can obtain most any widths and sizes of timber including wide
plank, beams and live edge slabs.
Want to add warmth and
beauty to any room. Add an accent wall made from reclaimed barn boards,
or create unique art work to compliment your room or patio area. Other
uses for reclaimed wood that we have seen are front entry doors, distressed
kitchen cabinets or farmhouse planks dining table.
