Wood Preservation, Restoration & Repair Professionals

For buildings in New York City, there’s nothing more inviting than a well-maintained natural wood environment. Lobbies, hallways, elevator interiors, conference rooms—wood is one of the most popular interior surfaces used today. It can be shaped, carved, and finished in a variety of ways. Yet these characteristics also make wood a fragile and vulnerable architectural material.

Wood Restoration & Wood Refinishing in New York City.

Exterior wood suffers from the direct effects of weather–be it rain, snow, environmental pollution, excessive humidity, or ultraviolet damage from the sun. Interior wood suffers stress of a different kind, primarily wear and tear from people (nicks and scratches), simple neglect, and environmental concerns, like drying out and cracking from heating and air conditioning systems.

SanMar begins its woodwork restoration process with a complete inspection and condition assessment. Assessing the type and degree of damage to wood is an integral part of determining the best courses of action to treat the material. Wood surfaces receive special care depending on age and service location. For example, antique woods demand different treatment than modern woods; heavy traffic areas, such as those found in elevators and on staircases, demand more aggressive preventative treatments than wood finishes located in an isolated hallway or on a lobby wall.

We repair areas by replacing damaged and missing veneer with the same wood species. Minor scratches and nicks are hot-knife filled and grained to blend with the surrounding area. We use time-proven techniques to clean and treat the wood finish, and to protect against future wear and tear. At project completion, SanMar’s technicians carefully inspect the job as a final quality check.
