"We have the experience, knowledge and expertise. It's our specialty. We're not afraid to take these renovations on.”
Mike says that typically a renovation project in a newer home is a remodel, updating the amenities, maybe reconfiguring the space for efficiency, and layering in lighting and trending features, including two-way fireplaces or removing walls to open up the space. But with an old home, the owners want to "tear it back to the studs; they're in for a deeper renovation”, and want to have up-to-the-minute conveniences within the character and feel of an old home. He says, "It's like starting over fresh with the opportunity for them to have the house exactly the way they want it.”

He enjoys this work and the challenge of working through the little glitches that make each old home renovation project unique and satisfying to complete.
