The staff at Alleghany Wood Moldings are ready and able to shape your dreams into reality. With a highly skilled staff of three artisan woodworkers and access to high quality materials, customers are only limited by their own imagination.
The business, located at 20 Russell Blvd. in Bradford, has been in operation since 2008. Contact the business at (814) 362-0342. Earlier this month it was purchased by Jason Myers and his wife, Amy. Jason has been working for Alleghany Wood Moldings since 2009. When the previous owner retired and put the business up for sale, he saw an opportunity.
“I just love it here and that is why I wanted to buy this place,” said Myers. “I am good at this; there isn’t anything else I would rather be doing.”
Something Myers enjoys about his job is the wide variety of projects he gets to work on. Every day, he and his team are presented with new and unique challenges. They can do moulding, countertops, kitchen cabinets and much more.
“Basically we can make anything that is made out of wood,” said Myers. “From tiny plaques to display cases, if you can think of it we can make it a reality.”
They can also do laser engraving and have two CNC machines on site to make products for various customers.
Alleghany Wood Moldings works with many local businesses and contractors, but is also available to private customers for custom jobs large and small.
“If someone comes in with an idea I can almost see it in my head before we get started,” said Myers. “I will do a little doodle on paper and just go from there, staying within their measurements and budget.”
The experienced staff at Alleghany Wood Moldings includes Myers and two other craftsmen with 15 years combined in the industry. Throughout the years, they said, they have seen trends come and go.
“When I first started everything we made was stained and finished,” said Myers. “Now everyone wants things painted white or grey but I think that trend may be fading and people are starting to appreciate natural wood again.”
The staff are even able to work with exotic woods as required. For Myers, every type of wood offers its own benefits and beauty.
“Each wood has a unique look; it doesn’t matter if it is poplar or hickory or cherry,” said Myers.
Out of his many projects, Myers particularly enjoys cabinetry and furniture.
“To me, each project is more than just a paycheck, it is a work of art,” Myers said.
He knows that real wood may cost more than pressed boards, but the longevity of real wood speaks for itself.
“People will be able to have the products we make for 20 or 30 years or longer depending on the materials they decide to use.”
“You can go to Lowes or Home Depot and get a kitchen for $5,000 but it won’t last more than a couple of years because of the wood they choose,” said Myers. “Our kitchens might cost more initially but you won’t have to replace anything for decades because we use quality materials.”
