Call or text today615-431-3789Historic Home Restoration
An older home carries craftsmanship that is hard to find today: plaster walls, heart-pine floors, wavy glass, hand-laid brick and trim milled for one house. Restoration is the art of keeping those things while making the house sound, comfortable and safe. We begin with a careful survey of the structure, roof, masonry and systems so repairs target causes, not symptoms.
In Nashville and the historic towns around it, we repair and match millwork, restore wood windows, repoint masonry with the right mortar, rebuild porches and reinforce framing. We work with local design review boards where they apply, and we hide new wiring, plumbing, heating and cooling in ways that respect the original fabric.
