Salvage of an 1870 Lake House

An electrical fire recently devastated a beautiful 1870's mansion in the Finger Lakes of New York State. The beautiful home lost most of its roof and subsequent heavy rains damaged much of the gorgeous woodwork. But our crew has been working to try to save as much as possible, and there is still so much beautiful woodwork left

Salvage of an 1890 Queen Ann

We recently salvaged an 1890 Queen Ann style house in western New York that fell victim to a combination of long-term neglect and disuse as well as owner apathy towards restoration. We always encourage property owners to rethink the decision to demolish a historic home, particularly one with the level of character that this home was graced with. Rarely are we able to change an owners mind once they have decided to demolish a property but we do make an effort.

The "Switch" to LED: Options for Antique Lighting by Electra Abernathy

Want to save on your energy bills but keep the historic look of your vintage light fixtures? Decorative LED light bulbs may be just what you need. You may think of energy-saving bulbs as ugly, but we now offer varieties that look quite similar to incandescent bulbs.

In recent years, several countries, including the United States, have created new standards regulating the manufacture of incandescent light bulbs. These standards are intended to phase out the incandescent bulbs that exceed 40 watts, and to encourage the development of more energy-efficient lighting alternatives. The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 required that light bulbs become increasingly more efficient in the next few years. Under the law, incandescent bulbs that produce 3102600 lumens of light are effectively phased out between 2012 and 2014.

Mortise Lock Straight Talk!

With Xavier Blaine

Oh, the front door It is the most evocative feature of every home, a thing of both beauty and security, a silent sentinel of architectural devotion. Its intricate carvings or stark panels, the comfortably oversized knob and backplate, the swing of the hinges, even the species of wood, all were carefully considered to create that most engaging of thresholds. In truth, what good would a home even be without a good front door? And yet the most important feature of every door, its entire raison detre, is not even visible, for what good would a front door be without a good lock?

The Fairfacts Company

The Fairfacts Company was based in New York City in the 1920s. The company created The Perfect Bathroom brochure in 1924 where they put a catalog together with all of their Biltin accessories. Their Biltin accessories were very popular in the tiled bathrooms of the 1920s. The bathroom consisted of recessed toilet paper holders, soap niches, and tiled-in cup holders, toothbrush holders, towel bars, shelving, and sponge holders, all designed to fit seamlessly among the tiled walls. The accessories were made of such durable china that many of them still exist today and have made their way to our store. The company is, unfortunately, no longer in existance. They, like many others did not make it through the Great Depression.

When disaster strikes, you cant afford to waste one minute. Get back on your feet faster with Oklahomas largest full-service disaster restoration company.

Burggraf Restoration has tackled oil fires, floods, tornadoes, and hurricanes from coast to coast.

With over 40 certified, full-time employees working from a 40,000 square foot facility, we can respond to catastrophes across the nation in about six hours.

Our goal is to get things back to business as usual as quickly as possible. For almost 20 years, Burggraf has helped government agencies, businesses and residents recover in the face of nearly impossible odds.

When Hurricane Ike struck, we brought in generators that supported three 7-story office buildings to get those businesses back up and running. A Kansas oil company sent three other disaster restoration companies packing after watching us tear through one restoration project after another in half the time.

For almost 20 years, we have been helping businesses and individuals recover in the face of impossible odds. We can do the same for you.

We had a fire in our gym that threatened to cancel our home basketball season. The fire and smoke made our facility unplayable!

Our once-white walls were black and looked to be a disaster. Within an hour I received a call from Burggraf Restoration, and within one day they were in our gym cleaning and restoring the facility. We had banners, sideline chairs, sound system, lighting and painting that needed attention.

They worked around the clock in two and three shifts and had the gymnasium ready for the other contractors to do their jobs!

Without a doubt, if I had issues and needed my home restored after a disaster, I would definitely call on Burggraf Restoration.

Dear Heavenly Father,

I humbly come before you and thank you for saving us from distress when we call out in trouble and thank you for being there for us when things are good in our lives. We love you Dear God we seek and require You earnestly. Thank You Lord, for your kindness, tolerance, and patience with us when we fall into sin, and thank you for sending Christ to die for our sins and redeem us by the cross.

I come before you Lord to petition you in Prayer and ask your blessing on me and my (Wife/Husband) to come together in harmony with sympathy, compassion and humility, faithfulness, honesty, respect and most of all love.Lord, You have made us one in flesh and spirit and You are a witness to our marriage covenant. I believe that the Holy Spirit will come upon my (Wife/Husband) so that (She/He) never forget your teachings and that (She/He) keeps your commands in (her/his) heart. I believe that the Holy Spirit is working in our marriage, that my (Wife/Husband) will not be deceived by the persuasive words of anyone who would lead him astray or attempt to seduce (her/him).

I give You praise and honor, Lord, and I thank you that no weapon formed against our marriage has prospered and I believe that You Lord will silence anyone who is attempting to come between us, telling my spouse that reconciliation is wrong. With the spiritual authority given to me in Jesus name, I rebuke anyone who would attempt to put a wedge between myself and my spouse- through ungodly advice, use of banned spiritual arts as mentioned in the bible for direction, or through false teachings or words.

Lord, I believe the Holy Spirit is working in my spouses life right now, ministering to (Her/His) heart, and I believe the Holy Spirit will righteously convict and correct my spouses thoughts, words and actions and place in (Her/His) heart the burning desire to rebuild our marriage because (She/He) knows life is better with me and the grass is NOT greener in other pastures as the deception of the world leads us to believe. I petition you dear Lord, that (Name of Husband or Wife) would humbly accept Your conviction and correction and seek your direction.

Lord, I ask You to convict and deal with any unconfused sin in (Her/His) life. Enable us to deal with any sin that would be hindering our marriage. Lord, I believe it is in your Will that we are reconciled back to each other despite anything weve done to each other in the past and I forgive my (Wife/Husband) for any wrongs I feel (She/He) has done as I pray that (She/He) forgives me.

God, Your words are trustworthy and you have promised these things to me though your words given throughout the ages through the profits, disciples and Jesus. You have promised that You will build a home for me and that it pleases You to bless my marriage. I praise and thank You Lord, for keeping the promise you have made concerning me, my (Wife/Husband) and our home.Lord I believe you will guard the fidelity of our marriage in this time, and will keep (her/his) eyes blinded to temptations of our Human nature or the influence of the Devil. In the name of Jesus, I pray that You would bind the work of Satan from this marriage and cast that influence away. Lord, I believe that my (Wife/Husband) will acknowledge you and listen to your still soft voice in their head and heart. I believe if (She/He)tries to push away from Your wisdom and attempt to reject your words, your words on marriage will be exposed to (Her/Him) through TV, Magazine, Books, and your messages will grow louder and louder to correct (Name of Husband or Wife) into your Will for our marriage.Lord, I believe You will be here with me to assist me in staying strong and courageous throughout all the trials, struggles and issues , and I praise you for not allowing me to be afraid or feeling discouraged if things dont seem to be progressing in my time. Your power is greater than the power of Satan and all who do his work, and I believe all good things will be done on Earth and in Heaven in Your time, such as the restoration of my marriage. I refuse to be discouraged, I refuse to be defeated. You are the God of all hope and I claim in every way this victory in my marriage though your Word.And I praise You that everything we have been through has not quenched (her/his) love for meand our love for each other. I pray we will live together in harmony with sympathy, compassion and humility, and that we inherit Your blessings.Father, I plead that we will speak the truth to one another in love. Cause us to honestly share our feelings without being arrogant or spiteful. Replace those feelings, Holy Spirit, with love and honesty and enable us to work through our differences.

Jesus, I plead that we/they will put away all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and slander, along with every form of malice. In the place of this, I pray that we/they would be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other. Father, I pray that You would rekindle passion and desire between myself and (Name of your Husband or Wife here), and heal any emotional wounds we may have caused one another. It is Your Will that marriages to be for a lifetime and therefore go has joined together, let no man separate. I ask that this petition of prayer be read aloud, before all the angels of Heaven, before Jesus, the Holy Spirit and You my God. And I believe you will move to save and strengthen our marriage and I ask in the name of Jesus that You will do whatever it takes to protect and defend this marriage and place a hedge of protection over our home. In Your Mighty Holy Name OGod, Jesus and the Holy Spirit- Amen.
