Every antique home and barn has a history... and we'd say these are some pretty cool finds!

As we work on these buildings, we occasionally uncover pieces of their past… old radios, signs that tell part of the building's story, and decorations that have been tucked away for decades.

Some offer a glimpse into the people who once occupied or worked there, while others are directly connected to the property's history.

One of the best parts of our work is preserving the history of these homes while giving them the structural support to last another 100 years or more.

If you're having work done on your property, make sure the contractor you hired has a permit.

Building permits help protect homeowners by ensuring the work is completed to current building codes and inspected throughout the process. If your contractor tells you a permit isn't necessary, don't be afraid to ask why.

As we wrap up our work in Florence, it's really just the beginning of this barn's next chapter.

We’re often the first team on site, assessing structural damage and restoring the building’s framework. For this project, our team replaced deteriorating beams and rebuilt sections of the substructure to create a strong, stable framework, carefully matching the barn’s original craftsmanship and character along the way.

When our work is complete, we leave knowing every improvement that follows is built on a solid structural foundation. More importantly, the homeowner can have confidence that this barn is structurally prepared to stand for another 100 years or more.

Another day doing what we love, restoring historic homes and barns 🤣👍

Before buying a historic home, stop and consider the condition and repairs needed in the years ahead.

We’ve evaluated hundreds of historic New England properties, and we know that buying an old home isn’t for everyone. The right inspection can help you identify structural concerns before closing and make a more informed decision.

If you're considering an older home, give us a call to schedule a structural evaluation. Understanding a property's structural condition before closing can help you make an informed decision and avoid unexpected repair costs down the road.

And that’s a wrap in Florence, MA!

We had a blast being the first to touch ground on this “Party Barn” project for a client who simply wanted a place to gather with friends and family, knowing it would be structurally sound and last for decades to come.

With the structural work now complete, it’s safe to say this barn is ready for a long life ahead, and we’re so glad we could take you along for the journey.

Stay tuned… we've got more projects in the works!
