Highfield Joinery
Highfield Joinery is a one man operation focusing in high-level historical knowledge and legacy materials, including linseed paint and putty, lime mortar, and high levels of salvage, dutchman repairs, patching, and "re-livening" wood considered unsalvageable. This can save thousands, especially for old doors and window sashes, attics, siding, and porches, while preserving the architectural integrity and therefore curb value others may not be aware of. Because of the age and uniqueness of each task, I use many hand tools which allow the flexibility and detail required, but also encourage the same results and even tool marks as the originals, and can be an absolute value over time as they may last just as long. I has become common to spend a year’s salary on a repair, only to find it failing or aged in just a short while. Our ethos is the opposite: to fix it so properly and accurately that it never needs to be looked at again in your lifetime. As the Originals Were.
"I have hired Eric for multiple furniture repairs/restorations(chairs, server/sideboard, dining table) and he has done an amazing job every time. Iâ ve been hesitant because a lot of antique furniture is just irreplaceable but everything he touches turns out beautiful. If you need someone to repair or restore your furniture, Eric is a 10/10 recommendation!"
