Remodeling with Hardwoods

Leading the way for trends in home remodeling are home offices and additions; kitchen & bath remodeling and work in the Townhouse/Condo market. There are many opportunities for unique design with the use of hardwoods. Consider using some of our choices for low maintenance features and to give added style.

Home Office design can include custom built cabinets for books and electronics, hardwood flooring and millwork for ceilings, doorways and windows. East Teak offers custom and standard sizing, call us when big timbers are required for a job. Although Teak is our favorite with its beautiful golden brown coloring, there are many beautiful hardwoods to choose from. Many hardwoods change color over time which enhances the natural characteristics of the wood.
