about us
Grain was founded in the summer of 2012 by Brian Heinlein. Brian began building a vision for a company that would build furniture as well as boutique home and garden décor using reclaimed wood. Converting his own garage into a workshop, he began handcrafting unique, custom furniture with organic detail.
In the summer of 2012 Brian Heinlein's vision became a reality. Working in the construction industry, Brian saw how much waste occurred on a job site and seized the opportunity to reclaim wasted building products while creating a business from the ground up. Grain strives to reduce the waste the construction industry was contributing to our land fills by reclaiming as many materials as possible.
Jake Rosenthal joined Brian as a partner in late 2013 after working together on a few projects. Jake, having grown up on construction sites, comes from a family full of master carpenters and contractors. Naturally, it was the perfect fit! Since then, they have been creating new unique custom furniture and other accent pieces at the Grain shop in Brightwaters.
When Brian and Jake are not in the shop working on their next new piece, you can find either of them pursuing their other passions. Brain and Jake each spend time with family and friends, enjoying the beaches and countless local restaurants in beautiful Brightwaters & Bay Shore. Brian is also a surfing enthusiast, always trying to catch the next big wave or at the beach with his family. Jake prefers his water frozen, and can be found playing or watching hockey with his wife and dogs during most his spare time.
With an entrepreneurial spirit and the desire to clean up and green up the environment these two longtime friends have joined forces in business and created one of the most innovative new start ups to pop up in years. Everyday they are working to create unique new products and are constantly collaborating with other local restaurants and entrepreneurs to enrich our community.

Testimonial
At Grain we strive to leave customers 100% satisfied and eager to talk about their new Grain items! We guarantee our work for life. Quality and customer satisfaction are our highest priorities!
"I have had the pleasure of being able to collaborate with Jake and the team at Grain Reclaim several times in the recent past. We met at a local artisan fair and hit it right off. Since then I have used a wide variety of their services. I have taken advantage of their creativity and practical real life design for tables in a high volume restaurant environment. I also have some beautiful furniture at my own home. Some of my favorites though are the personalized items. The guys recently made me a custom Pizza Peel and a custom Cutting Board. Both are beautiful, super functional, and just great conversation pieces every time I have guests over.
Cool Local guys, great local product. 100% recommended."
