The Challenge
This beautiful 1800s home had significant structural issues throughout, including compromised floor joists and severely out-of-square window openings that had settled over time.
Our Solution
We completely rebuilt the floor joists and fabricated custom angled trim for every window to accommodate the home's unique character while ensuring structural integrity.
The Result
A fully restored, structurally sound home that honors its historic character while being ready for many more generations to enjoy.
