On the Ground in Hyde Park, Boston

What Building Restoration Work Here Actually Involves

A mix of Victorians near Cleary Square, 1920s–1950s single-families through Fairmount and Readville, and postwar capes and ranches on the outer edges. More vinyl and aluminum siding than you'll find in Dorchester.

How Restoration Work Differs

Restoring an Older Building Is Not a Repaint

What drives the price

Restoration prices on condition and on what has to be matched. Replacing a rotted section of a plain fascia is carpentry. Replicating a moulding profile that has not been manufactured since 1910 involves either sourcing salvage or having a knife ground, and that is a different order of cost and lead time.

How the work is sequenced

Water first. Every restoration starts with finding where moisture is getting in, because coating over an active leak is money spent twice. Then substrate repair, then matched carpentry, then priming of every face of every new piece including the back and the end grain, then finish.

Where it usually goes wrong

The failure specific to older buildings is repair that ignores how the building was designed to breathe. Sealing a wall assembly that was built to dry outward traps moisture inside it, and the damage that follows is worse than the problem being solved. Older buildings need to be understood before they are coated.

How long it takes

Restoration schedules are driven by material sourcing and by weather windows more than by labour. We flag long-lead items at the estimate so you know which parts of the schedule are ours to control and which are not.
