Fees

Our goal is to work in partnership with you. We typically offer a variety of options and approaches to a project to be flexible for individual schedules and budgets.

The nature of the work in historic preservation is tremendously unpredictable. Surfaces dating hundreds of years often have ‘surprises’ hidden within and behind them. Earlier work, historic materials, wallpaper, Calcimine paint, the influence of environment, and prior repairs are a few of the conditions that affect estimating costs of restoration and repairs. For these reasons, we often offer cost projections in a range (best and worst case scenario) for planning and budgetary purposes, or suggest completing a test area to analyze the situation more accurately.

Production: Rates are either daily or per project depending on the size of the project and level of expertise required to complete the work.
