Built with a long view.

Reclaimed timber, finish carpentry and outdoor structures — crafted by hand for homes, cabins and studios that are meant to age well.

The Studio

Projected Growth is a small carpentry practice for people who notice the difference. We work in reclaimed redwood, wide-plank pine and honest hardwoods — fitting every door, casing and board as if it will be looked at for the next fifty years. Because it will.

Materials

Wood that has already stood the test of time.

Reclaimed lumber is denser, more stable and more beautiful than most of what's on the yard today. Every board carries a history — nail holes, saw marks, a century of weather — and we build so that history shows.

When new stock is the right call, we choose it with the same care: clear fir for casing, wide pine for floors, treated framing where the weather demands it.

Good carpentry is quiet. You notice it most in the years it doesn't need fixing.
