Antique colonials through the historic areas, and a notable stock of mid-century modern houses at Brown's Wood and along Baker Bridge Road, including the Gropius House.
Most of our building restoration work here is for owners of architecturally significant houses, both antique and modern, who care how it is done.
Significant modern architecture
Lincoln holds architect-designed moderns with flat and low-slope roofs, wide glazing, exposed structure and often original stain finishes. Nothing about them is standard colonial work.
Antique stock alongside
The historic areas hold genuinely early houses with old-growth wood and hand-worked trim.
Heavy tree cover and conservation land
Lincoln is deeply wooded. Shaded elevations stay damp and mildew is an annual issue.
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 Lincoln specifically, the work is mostly antique colonials and mid-century moderns, and two entirely different architectural traditions 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.
