A Passion for Restoration



We've often wondered what sets a construction apart from others. We basically all do the same thing, we make or fix things for customers. Simple enough, right? 

Working in this industry for twenty years we've noticed that one of the things we get complimented the most is about the quality of work. We've asked our customers why they say this since it has been brought up more than a few times. Their answers seem to be the same all the time to various degrees. 

According to our customers, New Earth doesn't take shortcuts and has a kind of experience that not everybody has. In addition to this we are truly passionate about what we do, we think of wood working as an art that requires great attention to detail.

Could we make more money by using non-natural but cheaper materials? Absolutely, but we are not interested in doing that. We want to make sure that our clients are fully satisfied with the products that we make for them, not only that but we also want these products to last. 

Some of the houses that are in downtown Richmond are a few decades old, the reason why they stood the test of time? Because the materials that they used were natural quality materials, New Earth does its best to ensure that we use some of the same building techniques. It has worked before and it will work again. 

We are one of the few companies that has their own saw mills on site. What this means to the customer is that we are able to build customer parts and pieces depending on the type of project we are working on. This is very unique to our industry since we don't have to contract that out which in turn is cheaper to our customers. This also allows us to have quality control over the product produce and ensures that it meets specifications accurately. 

We are more than just a construction company, we are a cause to the restoration and preservation of Richmond, Virginia.

Unique Wooden Furnishings

There are so many beautiful pieces than be created from wood, but our absolute favorites are the ones that still resemble their natural patterns that already exist in them. Most consumers think that in order for them to have a great piece of furniture they need to have the ideal piece of wood. Most often this is not the case. At New Earth we’ve found ways to incorporate the natural look of wood into timeless furniture pieces. 

We start by studying the shape and patterns of the wood, and creating something that is completely special. An irregular size or piece is of material can be manipulated and joined with other pieces. Ideally we like to preserve the integrity of the wood and make sure that it stays true to its irregularities and original shape. 

A lot of the work is done by hand, New Earth has a saw mill so we can create all sorts of custom made creations, which is not just limited to furniture. Distinct pieces like the ones we make require a lot of time and expertise. All of our products are treated after they are complete with high quality and durable finishes to withstand every day use for many years to come. 

We’ve worked with very different types of wood in the past, including some that have been found by our customers directly. We really enjoy when this happens because it offers a sense of pride to have located a piece of wood that permanently lives in one’s home as furniture. 

Some of our most popular designs include: mantels, salt & pepper grinders, dining and coffee tables and coat racks. Our expertise has very little limitations and we can fulfill most of our customers requests, even when they are a bit unorthodox. 

One of the greatest things about this approach to building furniture is that you get an entirely  new piece of furniture every time, that is processed minimally keeping the operation eco-friendly.
