Antique colonials near the Green, 1950s–1970s colonials and splits across most of the town, and architect-designed mid-century modern at Peacock Farm and Six Moon Hill.
Most of our building restoration work here is for owner-occupants across a wide range of house types, generally maintaining rather than flipping.
Historic districts near the Green
Lexington maintains historic districts around the Battle Green and Munroe. Exterior changes visible from the street require approval before work begins.
Mid-century modern stock
Peacock Farm and Six Moon Hill are architect-designed moderns with flat and low-slope roofs, large glazing and exposed structure. Nothing about them is standard colonial work.
Wide range of eras
A Lexington day can run from a 1740s antique to a 1965 modern to a 2010 colonial. Different substrates, different specs.
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. In Lexington specifically, the work is mostly colonials of every era plus mid-century modern, and historic district review near the Green shapes how we schedule and stage it.
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.
