Olek Inc. delivers custom architectural woodwork, specialty metal and bronze fabrication, sculptural work, historic replication and architectural steel for demanding commercial and institutional projects. From detailing and shop drawings through fabrication, finishing and installation coordination, the work is managed from Olek’s New Jersey facility.
01
From architectural trim and panels to reception desks, wall units, staircases, casework and custom doors, Olek produces architectural millwork with durable joinery and refined finishes. Historic repairs, replacements and reproductions can be documented in detailed shop drawings for a single room or a building-wide scope. Related preservation scopes can be coordinated with Olek’s commercial restoration services .

In-house metal capabilities include bronze, stainless steel, iron and aluminum for balustrades, custom hardware, signage, frames and architectural supports. Services include machining, brake forming, shearing, sand casting and investment lost-wax casting, with certified welding available where required.

Certified welders support scopes that require dependable structural execution alongside architectural coordination and finish-sensitive fabrication.

In-House Facility
We used Olek Inc. to shorten and polish our beautiful heavy wood dining table. Olek had to disassemble the table, cut it, re-attach the bookends, and make it look like it was never touched. The result was flawless — you would never know it was modified.
I have a Vladimir Kagan 175 E armchair that was literally falling apart — the wood was separating at the joins and the leather seat and padding were shot. Peter at Olek did an amazing job bringing it back to like-new condition. Highly recommended for designer furniture restoration.
This is the second time I've had Olek reupholster my sofas. Each time I've been astonished at the stunning work. The craftsmanship is impeccable and the attention to detail is second to none. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my furniture.
