Our projects include work on wood windows, doors, cornices, staircases,

projects are in sensitive settings that require proper behavior as well as
expert craft skills. Thoughtful behavior and proper inter-personal skills are
qualities that we are looking for in a job candidate.

Being focused on historic preservation, our work tends to be eclectic and
requires flexibility on the part of each craftsman. Each project has unique
aspects. All staff members engage in a variety of tasks both on-site & in the
shop. We occasionally work on brownstone scaffolds so a comfort with
heights is helpful.

We maintain a family friendly, cooperative atmosphere. Our goal is to
provide a healthy, safe and enjoyable work experience. Our employees are
encouraged to learn and grow., and to teach others coming up behind them
to insure a continuation of our craft into the future.

Our shop is in Sunnyside, Queens. Our site work tends to be mainly in the 5
boroughs, but we do a significant amount of work out of the city as well.
