Historic building restoration projects

New England offers many historic buildings that require regular maintenance and sometimes drastic measures to stabilize them for the future. Foundation construction two centuries ago was quite different from present methods and presents interesting challenges when main components fail. Here are some of our projects:

Previous owner filled plastic bags with fiberglas insulation	Serious damage from termites


In order to repair windows on the front of Antrim Town Hall without inconveniencing pedestrians, we made a complete portable shop.


	Four windows had suffered from rot for years. Each one was built differently inside and had to be completely reframed and insulated. Replacement trim for the original profiles was not available commercially, so we routed duplicate trims to match existing trim on other areas of the building.
