Preserving History with Care

My journey in historic preservation began in 1981 with the purchase of The Quint House, an 1853 Greek Revival home in the small historic town of Rural, Wisconsin. It later became the Rural on the Crystal National Register Historic District.

While restoring antique furniture, we developed a process that preserves original stains and patinas—far better than harsh, outdated methods. The results were not only authentic, but beautiful.

This approach to our work has taken us across the U.S., restoring church pews and historic woodwork in churches and public buildings. We believe restoration is about more than technique—it’s about honoring craftsmanship and history.

Most of our work is done in your area, and we've been lucky to meet amazing people in places we’d never have otherwise seen.

If you’re considering a church pew refinishing or restoration project, feel free to reach out. We love this work—and we’d love to help.
