As a student of historic New England home architecture, I have had the unique opportunity to restore old (Pre-1950) homes to their former glory. Depending on the type of home and the renovations being conducted, there are several methods of historical restoration that can be applied to these wonderfully crafted residences. Examples of historic-specific craftsmanship include:

•  Using period-correct oil based paints and stains 

• Reconstructing ornate trim pieces

• Understanding and implementing period-correct color schemes 

• Using correct methods for painting over sensitive surfaces, such as plaster

• Utilizing preservation practices for compromised materials in the home
