What Our Customers Say About Us

“It’s a rarity..”

“It’s a rarity in today’s marketplace to find a company that produces something better than what they say it is. Your flooring and stairs greatly exceeded my expectations and I couldn’t be more pleased. I have master carpenters who said they had never seen wood this nice. Opening every package was like opening a Christmas present.”

— Will Baird, Homeowner Grand Rapids, Michigan

” …all their products are as represented…’’

“We’ve been doing business together since 1982. To us, the most important thing is that all their products are as represented. My customers are very knowledgeable and appreciate the quality and rarity. Some of the materials we purchased are actually being stored so that they may be passed down to future generations.” 

— Milt Nicholas, Custom Builder, Southern California

‘‘…an exceptional level of quality…’’

“Our project demanded an exceptional level of quality… the floors are beautiful.”

— E. Eean McNaughton, Architect — on our national award winning floors in the Old Capitol Building — Baton Rouge, Louisiana

“…this is the best.’’

“I know I’m getting a quality product. The milling is excellent. It doesn’t shrink or swell because it’s kiln dried and it’s packed really well so we have no problem handling it. It’s very consistent from one order to the next. I’ve bought from many other suppliers and this is the best.”

— Ken Crast, Custom Builder — Bray’s Island, South Carolina

‘‘ The wood literally glows.’’

“We built a 7,000 square foot home on an Old Westbury estate along the Gold Coast. My client refers to it as a ‘cottage’, but it has art galleries, lowers, turrets and Corinthian columns. We used your flooring and everyone is thrilled. The wood literally glows.”

— Jack Houck, Custom Builder — Long Island, New York

“The job turned out beautifully.”

“We used your Antique Heart Pine (MultiLayer) flooring in The Hampton University Memorial Chapel. We’re celebrating our 52nd year in business and this is the first end-matched Heart Pine we had ever worked with. It came bundled with a few boards in each pack, so it was very easy to handle. You save a lot on installation and sanding when the milling is so precise. The job turned out beautifully.”

— Troy Smith, Jr., President, flooring installation firm — Newport News, Virginia

“…it will win some architectural awards.”

“We built a 6,000 square foot, two million dollar, Georgian/Colonial home with 13 foot ceilings. I’m confident it will win some architectural awards. The first person who looked at it, bought it. Those floors sold this house.”

The Joinery Co. Reclaims the Largest Wood Framed Building in the World

Sears and Roebuck Complex - Chicago

In the summer of 1994, The Joinery Company successfully negotiated the purchase of all reclaimed heart pine timbers and planking from the world’s largest and most famous wood framed buildings–the Sears & Roebuck Complex in Chicago, Illinois.

The Sears & Roebuck complex was begun by Richard W. Sears in 1905 and completed in 1906. With 5 million square feet of floor space, spanning two city blocks, it served as workspace for more than 9,000 employees in 1906.  At that time, it was the world’s largest commercial building and a fitting home for what would later become the “World’s Largest Store”. In 1906, its employees filled orders for nearly 5 million customers. At its height, there were 22,000 employees working there. One can only imagine the number of customers that Sears served during that period. During the early part of the twentieth century, the Sears, Roebuck & Company facility was reputed to be the largest post and beam building ever built anywhere in the world.

When the last truckload of  Reclaimed Heart Pine had been shipped to our factory in Tarboro, North Carolina and processed, over 12,000,000 board feet of timbers and planks had been salvaged and recycled into wide plank flooring, millwork, cabinets, and fine furniture.

Under The Joinery Company’s brand, “The Beauty of Recycling”, these unique products were delivered to famous addresses worldwide. The incredible quality of the Reclaimed Heart Pine from the Sears, Roebuck and Company complex exemplified the finest Longleaf Pine that America’s Virgin Forests had to offer. The Joinery`s reclamation and recycling of the Sears & Roebuck Complex was the largest reclamation project in the world. This beautiful wood, as well as the building itself, were uniquely American in every way and will long be remembered in The Reclaimed Wood Industry as the standard by which both reclamation and Reclaimed Heart Pine Flooring are measured.

Our Owner

Dewey V. Hudson​

“I’ve never considered my work a job. My companies are simply the result of my passion for beautiful woods. That beauty has been a driving force in me for as long as I can remember.”

  • Reclaimed & Recycled The World’s Largest Post & Beam – The Sears & Roebuck Complex in Chicago @ 12 million bf
  • Invented a color and grain matching technique for reclaimed wood products
  • First person in the United States to create reclaimed engineered wood flooring [US Patent 5968625]
  • Named NEER Entrepreneur of the Year for reclamation and product development in reclaimed woods 

Dewey Hudson has been designing and manufacturing unique flooring products since the early 1970s. He is one of the founders of the Reclaimed Wood Industry. His work has been recognized both in the United States and abroad by awards, publications, and patents.

Dewey’s companies have been leaders in the Reclaimed Wood Industry for more than four decades. They grew from humble beginnings in the early 1970s to an uncontested industry leader by 1995. In 1994, The Joinery Company successfully reclaimed 12,000,000 board feet of timbers and planks from the largest timber frame structure ever built. These Reclaimed Heart Pine products were shipped all over the world and represented the largest reclamation project of its kind in the twentieth century.

As the twenty-first century was about to get underway, Dewey was awarded an important US patent in Laminated Wood Products for a new wood matching technique he invented. Today, he continues to use that patent to make unique engineered floors, cabinetry, and fine furniture. Dewey has continued to travel the globe on a regular basis looking for ways to apply the patent, expand his product lines, and strengthen its brands. As a result of those efforts, Dewey Hudson has developed many strong relationships around the world with designers, architects, and contract manufacturers.  All of his companies are well organized and have at their disposal a perfect network of companies, craftsmen, and technical services to handle any and all projects anywhere in the world. Currently, The Joinery Co. is opening a new office in Southeast Asia to expand its manufacturing and add new product lines.
