Craftsman Exterior Restoration

Historic District 2023 14 weeks
Project Overview

Scope of Work

Full exterior restoration of a 1920s Craftsman home, including cedar siding, new windows, a rebuilt front porch, and a new roof with period-appropriate materials.

Client Goal

Restore the home's original character while improving energy efficiency and structural integrity.

The Challenge

Challenges

  • 1

    Historic district guidelines required approval for every exterior material and detail.

  • 2

    Original siding had extensive rot and lead-based paint requiring specialized remediation.

  • 3

    Matching custom window profiles to the 1920s originals was difficult with modern manufacturing.

Our Approach

Solutions

  • Worked with the historic review board to approve materials and documented every detail for compliance.

  • Followed EPA lead-safe practices, removing contaminated siding and treating substrate before refinishing.

  • Commissioned custom-milled windows with divided-light grilles that matched the home's original profile.
