WHO
WE ARE
|
|
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.

HERE'S
WHAT SOME HAVE TO SAY
|
 "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!"
MARTY
STUART - Singer-Songwriter, Photographer,
and Country Music Legend &
Friend (You too, Connie!)

"Thanks

great ad! You are also welcome to come at any
time after we move in for pictures or send
possible clients to come and look. I am soo
pleased with all of your work and it was so easy
to work with you! Thanks a bunch!"

"The
componets of this house which have come from
James & Company add immeasurably to the total

and value - and will add to our enjoyment for
years to
come. The cheerfulness, helpfulness and good nature
of all of you have made this a pleasure. We WILL
stay

finished product anytime!"

"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."
FRED ZAHN of Grau General Contracting -
Nashville, TN

"Just
as every structure needs a good foundation;
your recycled flooring has provided an elegant
base
for some of my most satisfying rooms."
JAMES F. CARTER, Inc., Architect,
Birmingham, Alabama

"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."
Dave Burns, Burns and Wald-Hopkins Architects,
Tucson, Arizona

"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!"
David W. Ford, A.I.A., Montgomery, Alabama

"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."
Robert Frank McAlpine Architecture, Inc.,
Montgomery, Alabama

"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."
Luther L. Hill, Luther Hill & Associates,
