Vintage Beams and Timbers, Inc. is a multifaceted company that has been a supplier of fine recycled and antique lumber in the United States for over ten years. We pride ourselves on the comprehensive service that we are able to provide our clients. In addition to supplying antique beam material, we also offer custom truss package fabrication, decorative corbel ends, floorings and paneling materials in a variety of species. If you need a certain size custom sawing of material is available on site.

Based in an idyllic farm setting in the Appalachian Mountains, Vintage Beams and Timbers has an international base of operations for antiques and architectural salvage work in Sylva, NC. Our company has a long-standing history of personal service on projects with architects, builders, structural engineers and homeowners to ensure that the end result of a project is exactly what the homeowner has in mind. 

Each antique timber is pressure washed to enhance its various golden tones, then cleaned, fumigated and stored in preparation for ongoing projects. Our yard is filled with a variety of mantles, barn board, heart-pine, teak flooring, rough-sawn wood, beams and old tin. From China we have antique Chinese pavers or bricks  dating back as far as the Ming Dynasty and hand-carved screens and other unique pieces . For those who appreciate the look of antique wood and/or brick but are unsure of how to utilize it in your environment, Vintage Beams also offers design service and creative advice on how to employ the materials to fit your personal style and needs.

 
Ed Knapp of Sylvia is into some big stuff -- huge timbers, that is. The owner of Vintage Beam and Timbers, he uses reclaimed wood from old structures and incorporates them into new ones.

His travels to retrieve the wood take him around the world.

Knapp spent six months in China last year reclaiming antique teak dating to the Ming Dynasty. He heads to South Africa for a job after he finishes work on a current project in Hawaii.

And his handiwork will be featured on an edition of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" airing at 8 p.m. Sunday and Monday on ABC.

"We put in 12-by-12 hickory beams that were 27 feet long we salvaged from an old barn in western Pennsylvania," Knapp said.
