In the last twenty years
or so, there have been many companies forming with our idea in mind.
The prices of reclaimed woods are slightly higher than new growth wood,
but the quality of reclaimed virgin timber far surpasses that of new
growth wood. Also, the recycling companies receive no government subsidies.
Buildings and various structures have to be carefully taken apart -
instead of demolished. The materials have to be metal detected to assure
that all bolts, nails and other foreign objects have been removed, then
resawn and milled to specific orders. This is a labor intensive project,
but when you see the finished product, it makes it all worthwhile.
At James & Company, we network with many of the recycling companies in the U.S., so if we happen to not have a certain product in stock, we can usually locate it for you in a few hours. We hope you will consider reclaimed wood for your next project.
"We've had great
luck matching timbers in hard to find dimensions. Both the industrial
and agricultural materials have been of very good structure and aesthetic
quality. We also appreciate the willingness of Donnie (James & Company)
to discuss the material and design options with us to help us fill our
orders and complete our project." "The weathered fir siding supplied by Donnie James
was used throughout the reconstruction of Old Tucson Studios…Doors,
windows and trim supplied by Donnie saved us a lot of time and money
by allowing us to install them with minimal preparation as compared
to custom building doors and windows to achieve that 1880's look. Using
authentic materials really makes a difference - better results with
less cost in less time." "Donnie had recently completed the interior trim
work on a large custom home that I had designed, so I felt confident
that his ability to shape the timbers for my needs was unmatched by
any other craftsman. Not only did the trellis turn out as a superb work
of wood artistry, we also decided to use the timbers to rebuild a decaying
sunroom at the same residence. The owners and I couldn't be happier
with the results and we both credit Donnie's foresight & knowledge
of woods to incorporate the reclaimed materials into the design. Hats
off to the James Company!" "Our association with Donnie James of James and
Company has been a long and pleasant one. The material he has supplied
for wood flooring, paneling, and beams has greatly complemented our
high end residential projects Donnie has worked tirelessly to supply
our special requests we have had and we look forward to our future collaborations
with James and Company." |
"You
can't find 1,000 year old timbers at Home Depot. Chances are you can
at James & Company. If you need vintage wood any size, any kind,
any shape, Donnie probably has it. Paris has the Mona Lisa - Donnie
has the wood, and a bunch of my money!"
"It
is a pleasure to take a few minutes to recommend someone who is so rare
in this business world. Donnie James is the most reliable person I have
met in the last few years. I have commented to my office manager and
associate on several occasions that Donnie goes the extra mile to honor
his commitments. Also his attention to detail and craftsmanship is a
welcomed relief in this day of mediocre workmanship."
