Antique Building Solutions

About Antique Building Solutions

Antique Building Solutions is a reclaimed wood business based in Howard, Pennsylvania, in Centre County. They buy old barns, take them down by hand, and turn the lumber into building materials for homes and other projects. As they put it, "this vision is only made possible by buying centuries old barns and disassembling them carefully by hand." Their main species are pine and oak, along with other species they come across in old barns. Services include metal detect denailing, washing or surface brushing, kiln drying or heat treating, back and skip planing, straight lining, ship lap or tongue and groove work, resawing boards and beams, sourcing and cutting complete timber tallies, and blind shipping direct to customers. If someone has a barn or structure to sell, the process starts with a free quote request, including photos of the barn's exterior, interior, beams, and floors. They say, "we dismantle barns the same way they went up: board by board." Their wood comes from family farms across Pennsylvania, and they describe buying barns across the state, with finished products shipped to customers around the country and overseas. The business was founded in 1998 as a father-son team and has been operating for more than two decades. This fits a landowner who has an old barn standing on their property and wants someone to buy it, take it apart, and put the wood to use, rather than someone looking to sell standing timber from their woods.
