A Widened Doorway

There were two doorways that the homeowner had made wider to put in double doors. In doing so, some of the floor needed new wood installed. We came and did that.


We then stained and finished the new boards espresso color with oil base professional urethane.

"Can you make us a couple of bunk beds? We are expecting our sixth child." Sure! We can help. The customer brought to us nine, old pine, 3x3 inch posts that he got from an auction.
