Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a historic home restoration and a remodel?
A historic home restoration involves rebuilding a home back to its original features or design while remodeling focuses on updating or modernizing a home’s aesthetic and material composition.
Why should I consider restoring my historic home?
It helps maintain and preserve the house’s integrity, value, and architectural details for years to come all while reducing waste and saving energy.
Are there specific guidelines for historic home renovations?
Yes. Local or national agencies have set guidelines and traditional techniques that our company is well-versed in and can ensure full compliance.
What type of projects do you undertake?
Projects that we undertake are historical remodeling, period-appropriate kitchen and bath remodels, exterior and porch restorations, window and door restorations, and storm windows.
What is the estimated timeline for a home restoration or remodel?
Timelines for projects can vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project. During the initial consultation, we analyze every aspect of the project to create an estimate that can later be transformed into a scheduled timeline. Most minor restorations take a few weeks while more extensive remodels may take several months.
How do you determine project costs?
Cost is determined by the project’s scope, materials and required labor. When it comes to initial costs we assess based on similar projects previously done, however, a free and detailed estimate is available to you after the initial consultation and evaluation of your home’s specific needs.
Do you offer design services?
Yes. We offer design services by partnering with designers specific to your project to enhance your home’s historical aesthetic and features. If a more complex drawing or design is required, we can partner with an architectural designer.
What type of materials do you use for restorations and remodels?
Materials are dependent on the scope of the project, and the intention of said materials . As a team, we strive to use the best materials depending on each project, following a period appropriate basis.
