Repurposing salvaged wood is a popular trend in the home improvement industry. Not only can using salvaged wood give a home a one-of-a-kind look, but it’s a handy way to incorporate the three Rs of green living into your lifestyle: reduce, reuse and recycle. Reclaimed wood is often used in flooring, beams, wall treatments, and doors; but it also can be turned into furniture or home accent items. Reclaimed wood adds warmth and historical interest to a home’s decor that newer materials may lack. Although finding wood that can be salvaged takes time and some legwork, such efforts quickly pay off. Many busimore nesses are now devoted to reclaimed timber, which can help make the process of finding and using salvaged wood even easier. Homeowners considering reclaimed wood may be interested to learn that such wood can serve various functions aside from benefitting the planet. match older wood New regulations may prevent certain species of trees from being cut down. That means it can be challenging to match old wood in a home, particularly if you’re looking to maintain historical value and authenticity. Relying on salvaged wood items can alleviate this concern, ensuring that you can find rare woods that are no longer available brand new. character It’s difficult to mimic the natural age marks and character that older wood may have. Instead of being raised on farms, wood harvested decades ago probably grew in natural environments, making the wood both durable and strong. The color and grain of salvaged wood may also be unique. see in a new way Doors are versatile pieces of reclaimed lumber because they’re already flat and rather large. Doors can be turned into headboards, tables or benches. Staircase or porch posts can be turned into candlestick holders, wood shutters can dress up walls and provide a place to hang artwork and other wall items. it’s everywhere Most people do not have to look too far to find wood they can salvage. Check salvage yards, landfills, dumpsters in front of older homes being renovated, or older, unused barns in rural settings You also can collect driftwood or discarded shipping crates. While some reclaimed wood can be used as-is, some pieces may require millwork, including sanding, cutting, shaping, and finishing. If you do not have these skills, you probably will have to hire someone who does. The Internet is awash with ideas for putting salvaged wood to use. Get inspired and then find the pieces that will fit your project. There are several reasons why Realty One is THE ONE for you...

C albuquerque, nM 505.898.8077 AlbuquerqueJournal hs 8 homestyle • june 19 – june 25, 2016 hs 9 local builder feature story the balance between creativity and crunching numbers becomes key to success back to his roots S cott schiabor of scott patrick homes, dabbled with another field for a while, but his experience outside of the custom home construction business may have given him the insight and training to survive where others failed. starting from the bottom Schiabor followed his father into the building industry in New Jersey. “I started by cleaning floors,” Schiabor said with a chuckle. “And doing whatever needed to be done.” There’s no better introduction to the business because you get a grasp on every aspect of the process, he said. “I got to just about everything, electrical, the plumbing, floors,” Schiabor said. “And the big thing is you need to learn how to work with people.” “You want to be able to find and keep strong subcontractors,” he said. “They’re the real experts in the field. They have to be reliable, provide quality work and be able to deliver it on time for everything to come together.” By learning those lessons early, Schiabor was ready when he went out on his own. Despite the early success, Schiabor decided to move west, earn a degree in accounting and try life as a CPA. He went to school in Montana before landing a job in Albuquerque crunching numbers. the old calling After several years of that, however, the old calling became too strong. “I just had a love for it,” he said. “Designing and creating something. Creating something that’s a little new and different. The mix of designing with the challenge of construction is just something I wanted to utilize.” Besides, Schiabor added with a grin, a successful builder can make a much larger income, which is especially important after having two children. all in the family by glen rosales “The mix of designing with the challenge of construction is just something I wanted to utilize.” Scott schiabor homestyle writer The Sandia Mountains make dining a pleasure. “Having the kids and wanting to give them the best life that I could gave me the motivation to get back into it,” he said. Schiabor started by building the family’s home and using it as a model – which, of course was something of challenge at times. “I worked out of the garage for a while,” he said. “It wasn’t always easy. But we were able to do it. I think when you’re young, you’re able to put up with a lot more.” Schiabor credits his wife, Joanne Schiabor, with helping make things smooth, while also adding her expertise in finance and banking to the business. That gave Scott Patrick a one-stop shop from design and build to finished product and sales. And with accounting experience, Schiabor was able to bring a more business-like approach to the off-the-site end of the business. key to survival “My accounting experience helped me become more aware of financial control and operations,” he said. It also helped him stay organized and know where things are across the business. Given that, it’s not surprising that Scott Patrick Homes was able to survive the downturn of 2008 and 2009. It was an integral part of his process and success, Schiabor said. “Without a financial and accounting background, you can get into trouble pretty easily. So it really helped to have that experience,” he said. Any business usually has its ups and downs, so simply preparing for those types of fluctuations was a big step, Schiabor said. “You always have to be looking ahead and you always to be on your toes. And, again, it really helps to put together a good group of subcontractors. If they’re in good shape, then you’re in good shape.” Two have been with him since he started back up again in 1988, Schiabor said, helping out with two developments on North Tramway Estates on the far Northeast Heights, and Andalucia de la Luz near Bosque School off of Coors. north tramway estates North Tramway Estates is a small development with homes ranging in size from 2,220 to 3,200 square feet. Most thus far could be called modern, although Schiabor said he likes to add soft touches to give the homes their own livability. For instance, his recently sold model has wood floors in the entry and a walk-in butler’s pantry that not only has space to store Costco-sized dry goods, but also room to have a bar with fixings. And one of the unique aspects to the home is a centralized utility room that is accessed off of the master bath, as well as the hallway down from the secondary bedrooms. andalucia de la luz While Northway Tramway is geared more to the older family or even empty nesters, Andalucia is more targeted at young professionals with growing families. The homes range from 2,200 to 4,000 square feet with somewhat larger lots that can be as big as a half-acre. And with all his homes, every effort is made to draw the outdoors in. “The great thing about New Mexico is the weather, so we’re always looking to design our subdivisions and our homes to take advantage of that,” Schiabor said.
