We Strip the Paint. You Keep the Character.
Residential paint and finish stripping for doors, trim, staircases, mantels, built-ins and architectural woodwork across Minneapolis and the Twin Cities.
Restore the wood you already own.
Replacement millwork can be expensive and often lacks the character of the original. We focus on careful stripping and surface preparation so your existing wood can be refinished instead of ripped out.

Paint and finish removal for solid wood doors, panels and decorative profiles.
Trim & Millwork
Baseboards, casing, crown, decorative moulding and historic architectural details.
Stairs & Railings
Handrails, newel posts, balusters, stringers and stair trim restoration.
