The Teakwood philosophy: The difference is in the details.
From conjuring the past with comprehensive renovations of historic homes in Saratoga Springs, to remaking lakeside bungalows into storybook retreats on Lake George, to giving new life to modest suburban tract homes...the “Teakwood touch” and obsessive attention to detail is evident in some of the area’s most distinctive residences. Our hallmark is our custom woodworking, from built-in cabinetry suited to your specific lifestyle needs, to millwork designed to match a by-gone era.
The Teakwood focus: Exceeding expectations.
We set very high standards for ourselves, and—by extension—the projects we touch. We strive to offer the best possible value in design, construction, energy-efficiency, and livability. Our master craftsmen and professional trade and design partners work together, not only to meet but to exceed your expectations in designing and building the spaces you envision. We work vigorously to develop a trust and partnership with you, built on open and consistent communication and mutual respect, helping to ensure a building process that is rewarding and enjoyable.
The Teakwood maxim: Love where you live.
Like you, we believe that your home is a significant investment in your future, your family, and your overall well-being. How you live is as important as where you live. We are fortunate to call Upstate New York home, with its wealth of history and its diverse cultural, business, and recreational activities. Our goal is to provide you with the ideal everyday retreat in which to live, work, and enjoy our local riches. Home is where the heart is...Let Teakwood help to create or enhance the space you love.

Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Since 1996
What is your primary product or service?
Luxury building, remodeling, and historic renovation for homes and businesses
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I worked at my father’s building supply store in Cohoes when I was younger, and always had an interest in construction. I earned an associate’s degree in construction technology from HVCC, and a bachelor of arts in construction management from Utica College. I started out by subcontracting for several residential builders, and increasingly saw a need for a builder/remodeler who would more fully understand and interpret clients’ unique design needs as part of the construction process. Building on my education in construction technology and management, and my forte in design, I decided to form my own company.
