For owners of Back Bay brownstones or Cambridge Victorians, we specialize in preserving original bathroom features while making essential updates. Our craftsmen replicate missing hex tiles, refurbish original fixtures, and source period-appropriate hardware.
We've developed techniques to stabilize old plaster walls behind new waterproofing layers and can recreate damaged wainscoting using traditional joinery. Every preservation project includes discreet modernizations like quiet exhaust fans and improved lighting that respect the home's historic character.
