There's nothing more eye-popping than shimmering wood flooring.
It gives you that wonderful feeling of warmth and the natural beauty of the outdoors into your home or workspace. It's something homeowners and businesses are trying to capture when refining their surroundings while also using eco-friendly products.
One way to magnify the look is to use reclaimed wood - or wood that was used for another purpose.
Using reclaimed wood for renovation projects is an option that gives the old boards new life. It's a piece of the past woven into the present.
One Massachusetts company in particular has been providing premium quality reclaimed lumber to New England's top building professionals for more than 15 years. Based in Chelsea, the Jarmak Corporation has been catering to architects, designers and homeowners for years.
Founder Arnold Jarmak launched his company in 1998 while working with the Amish in Pennsylvania. He got into the trade first working for a demolition company before running a business that purchased lumber. In 2001 he opened an antique lumber sawmill in Lancaster, Pa., on an Amish farm.
With the Amish, he observed how they saved all they tore down. They didn't believe in a crushed-earth policy. They saved everything, the company notes on its website. "Saving building materials meant saving time and money," the company states. Since then, the Jarmak Corporation has been at the forefront of the reclamation industry.
They recenlty opened a wood shop and lumberyard in Oxford, which allows the company to service the entire Northeast providing reclaimed wood products for commercial, retail, dining, home, office spaces and more. It also gives consumers the ability to actually see the products they will use on their own projects first hand.
Their products include Antique Heart Pine, Antique Fir Timbers, Recovered Redwood, Boston Harbor Oak, Vermont Maple Flooring, and Antique Pine Timbers among others.
Think of this company as a junk yard for wood that takes something that's old, dirty and worn and repurposes it into something that's new, clean, warm and bursting with character and charm.
Whether it's wood from a century-old New England farmhouse or the pilings found sitting in the Boston Harbor beneath the old Jimmy's Harborside Restaurant, these guys will transform the product into something magnificent.
It's truly an amazing process that everyone should consider when designing their new home or business as it combines a new thing of beauty with the historical richness of the past in a product that is not only durable but eco-friendly and sustainable.
