Landmarks Procedure for Front Doors


I just pulled two doors off a Brownstone on a landmark area. The customer wanted the doors stripped, repaired, and repainted the same color and rehung. When we stripped them, we found the two most beautiful mahogany doors in need of minimal repair. The customer, who lives out of state, is now contemplating having us make the repairs and finish these in a clear coat, but we are not sure how to proceed with landmarks and what this will entail. Also, if we are taking the doors back to their original 1880′s appearance, will the process be any smoother?

Thanks all,

Steve

Free Mahogany Hand Rail


I’ve salvaged 24 feet of what looks like mahogany hand rail from an 1880′s Bstone. It is free to anyone who will use it (not sell it). It is a heavy rail, about 5″ at the bottom and about 5″ high. one piece has the “gooseneck” on it which attaches to the landing newell. I could not let it go to the landfill.

good condition.

Pick up is in Middle Village. Delivery to Brooklyn is $40.00

Electrician Recommendation


Hi, I have frequently had customers and b’stoners contact me asking for recommendations for an electrical contractor. Only recently did I find out that the contractor which I have referred to my customers in Queens goes to Brookln. His name is Thomas Munetz of Munetz Electrical Contracting Corp. Fully licensed and insured, he operates a small company and what I mean by this is, when you call him you get him doing the work.

All of my Queens customers have been very happy with Tom. His office number is 718-416-2686. Tell him Steve from Middle Village sent you.

FREE Five Panel Doors


I salvaged two five panel doors out of the trash in Park Slope today and am giving them away. They measure 29 3/4 x 90. They need a little work, but nothing serious.

I’ve posted a picture of them on the Products II page of my site, www.thetinkersyard.com

I really want somebody to take them as I do not have the room to store them.

I Need an Old Radiator


I have a customer looking for any old radiator, a tall one with the scroll work on it. It should be in good usable condition. By good condition, I mean good threads for all the connections and the vent. Condition of paint does not matter.

Please let me know what you may have.
