1880’s Saratoga Springs Victorian Needs HPC Approval
Before
After: New balustrade and paint colors.
Alternative color scheme.
This house is located in a historic district and approval is required for a new porch railing, steps, newel posts and painting. Aside from a new railing, all that was needed was paint color correction in the gables.
This is what the homeowner emailed me:
The Review Board meeting was on July 6th. There were 6 board members plus someone from the Historical Preservation Society. First they had a presentation regarding the awards that had been given in May. I was the second application on the schedule. The first guy (who lives about 2 blocks away) had a very detailed presentation but after they completely tore him apart I thought I was toast. Luckily they loved the new stairs, railing and color choices. Then they asked how I had gotten such a good rendering of the colors and new staircase and I told them about you and your website. They pulled up the website and put it on the big screen and everyone was totally impressed. I was surprised they had not heard of it, but in any case the application was unanimously approved and kudos given to your website. The Preservation lady said to contact them when the job is finished and they will give consideration to giving the house an award next year. I e-mailed her your contact details, so hopefully it will result in more business for you. They were all so interested in the website they hardly looked at my proposal at all 🙂
Scope of Work:
- Correct color placement.
- New period paint colors.
- New railing, newel posts, and steps.
