A person's garbage is the treasure of another person, and real antique wood is devoted to finding this garbage and conversion into a new treasure, a historical structure.
This salvage company based in Irvington and the business based in Irvington takes over materials from otherwise undesirable structures and mainly vintage barns, but also houses, boats and other old building and surrounded them in everything that have been recessed from hardwood floors, antique barn offshots, tailor-made fireplace coats and individual furnishings.
The Real Antique Wood was founded in 2011 by Gary and Lisa Horvath, which is located in the Cordier Street. Since then, the company has broken more than 120 barns, most of which are more than 100 years old, to places to Indonesia.

“Fortunately, we can see it from start to finish with our store. We can see it from dismantling and deconstruction to processing as well as the installation of the product. So it is something like a one-stop shop, and that's definitely what we always have from us,” said Anthony Saraceno, a master who dealt with the bastelmann.
When it comes to procuring their materials, Saraceno said that it is mainly based on word of mouth. You will receive many tips from property owners who have unwanted structures as well as construction companies and demolition entrepreneurs.
As soon as you have found a property in which you are interested, the Real Antique Wood team will travel to the site – nearby in North Jersey or everywhere across the country – and take the structure apart. Then bring this material back into the store, remove all metal verses, sterilize it in your oven and add it to your inventory to wait for his next chapter, said Saraceno.

It collects wood from old barns, houses and other structures, including boats and ships, which he finds to Indonesia of places. It sells the renovated wood to builders, architects and homeowners for a historical appearance of their project. He founded the company in 2011.
“We try to keep all the parts that we get back as original as possible until someone demands it or can be used in a project,” he said. “From then on, the big thing is that we let our customers dictate what we do, what they need, and we measured our process to perform the final appearance of what they are enough.”
While the store has a 5,000 square meter exhibition space, in which visitors can pick up “grave-and-go” residents such as recovered wood, wall covering materials, live-edge panels and prefabricated furniture, primarily antique wood.
One of these individual projects was for Rey Sol Coffee in Ridgewood, where Saraceno said that they were essentially equipped with the entire room with regal with recessed wooden floors, a coffee bar with wooden fish grabs and a live-serving shelf. Another was when they worked with a local building contractor in Harding to install 16 to 18 of their recovered wooden ceiling rays for a rustic note into a newly built house.
