Restorations & Custom Craftsmanship

Co-owner Robert Scott brings extensive restoration experience from the UK, where he worked on historic buildings over 500 years old, including Victorian homes and heritage estates. Restoration isn't just part of the job for Robert—it’s one of his true passions. That love for timeless architecture shows in every careful decision and every detail we restore.

From custom trim work to period-appropriate tile placement, we approach each project with dedication, precision, and an eye for what makes old homes special. Because when it comes to preserving history, craftsmanship makes all the difference.
