Q: Where do you go to find a replacement for your wood staircase hand rail baluster?
The art of fine finished carpentry seems almost lost in todays “find it at Home Depot mentality”. We are proud to be one of the few artisans working in the greater Los Angeles area.
Upgrading your hallway doors could be just the right change needed to make your home pop and look better than ever before. We recently replaced 8 tired old painted slab doors with new 3 panels, stain grade, fur doors for a client in Glendale. The transformation was nothing less than incredible. The new hardware sparkles and the doors which were stained dark are incredible. This project was quite affordable, running approximately 300 dollars an opening (for materials).
Design-build contractors have an edge on the competition. Here at RWT we can design your bath/kitchen remodel, addition and new home and build from these design drawings.

We recently had a long time client call in with a problem. He had inherited an oak coffee table with marble top that had been in his family for 85 years. The table had many poor alterations over the years and needed to be completely disassembled and repaired.
After viewing the pictures my client sent, we were able to put together a budget to pick up, repair, refinish and deliver this family heirloom.
Here at RWT we have a full wood mill so we are able to make virtually anything out of wood!

Now that the temperature is getting cooler it is a good time to tune up your furnace for the winter. Changing filters, checking duct work and overall system maintenance can save you on your energy bills. Having a licensed heating and air conditioning technician out to start up your heating system in the winter is a very wise decision.
As of late, exterior camera systems have become quite affordable and very simple to install. With systems starting right around 500 dollars you can outfit your home or office with a four color camera video surveillance system. We have installed them at both residential and commercial properties and find the systems:
When planning for an addition to your home besides the budget something to strongly consider is will the addition when completed look like the original house or will it stand out like a sore thumb?
Going the extra distance to ensure the architectural quality is accomplished for your addition is a very very high priority here at RWT. We pride ourselves on the fact that our additions are nearly undetectable.
There are obvious benefits for replacing your old single glazed wood windows with new high performance dual glazed clad or vinyl windows. Just to name a few would be the thermal efficiency of installing dual glazed windows, the sound efficiency and the low maintenance of duel clad or vinyl.
There are many companies out there who offer inexpensive replacement window systems, who unfortunately don’t understand how to properly water proof these replacement windows.
With today’s new Polymer sheet materials we are able to fabricate custom “out-door” kitchen cabinetry that will rival the finest kitchen cabinetries you can imagine. These finished cabinets will hold up to extreme weather conditions and you simply hose and wash them off when they are dirty.
The system is basically what you would find in custom yachts and has proven durability in extreme weather that you would find in the ocean.
Many of us are faced with the Dilemma of a garage that is filled with everything but our cars.
Since storage is at a premium in most homes, it is important and useful to find or have built a proper organizing system for your garage. Many manufacturers have designed creative ways to organize things such as files, sporting equipment, tools and etc. that make your garage a friendlier place.

However, you really do get what you pay for and modifications to stock cabinets are nearly impossible. For the home owner who is looking to do a fast and affordable kitchen I would recommend using stock cabinets.
Picking the right tile is essential in creating the warm environment for your new spa bathroom. Travertine tile is an affordable natural stone that is readily available and comes in various earth tone colors.
Pebble stone tiles for shower floors can add a distinctive feature as well as a soothing massage for your tired feet.
