Sometimes a simple paint job turns out to be a little something more...

​When working on historic homes, what looks like peeling paint can hide decades of old insect damage. Bugs had their party inside these walls years ago, leaving behind hollowed-out, compromised timber long after they moved on.

​At Compass Preservation LLC, we don't just slap a fresh coat of paint over rotten wood. We strip back the damaged boards and replace them with in-kind wood—giving this home another 100+ years of life, minus the uninvited pests.

Preservation and traditional building principles are all about honest work - not gimmicks or modern magic sales pitches. The magic is in the work and love that has gone into and continues to go into your building. The work isn't sexy, we are. So is Preservation.
