If the statement above sounds unusual, consider what it is you like about old houses. People bring many notions about what they think an old house is, or should be. I've made most of the first time mistakes (and many others as well) and I believe I can save you time and money in many ways. If you still want an "old house" look and feel when you're finished, then we have something in common. My projects are varied and consist of many different types of clients, many types of buildings, (big and small) and in many states, so please look around.

This is what happens to most old houses - they merely dissapear into the landscape and are lost to history forever.
