Premium Reclaimed Wood Products for Homes & Projects
Albany Woodworks was founded in 1976 with a deep commitment to preserving the legacy of antique wood. Our journey began in the swamps of Louisiana, where we salvaged ancient Cypress and Heart Pine from historic structures to build our family home. This passion for reclaimed materials evolved into a mission to provide sustainable, high-quality building products that honor craftsmanship and environmental stewardship. Over decades, we have specialized in transforming salvaged wood into beams, flooring, doors, and custom millwork, combining historical integrity with modern design.Our team, including founder Judith and daughters April and Alissa, prioritizes personalized service and expertise in every project. We maintain a vast inventory of reclaimed materials, offering surface treatments that preserve natural character while meeting contemporary needs. Our dedication to quality, durability, and unique aesthetics has made us a trusted source for architects, designers, and homeowners nationwide. By focusing on family values, craftsmanship, and preservation, we ensure each product tells a story while contributing to a sustainable future.
