People in the Historic Restoration Businesses
The following businesses are specialists in the field of historic restoration. With any business especially with those dealing with historic buildings - Let the Buyer Beware. Someone who loves working on old houses does not mean they know what they are doing. You really need to have some knowledge about your project before you contact someone so make sure you read this website. There are also technical publications for projects that are listed on my RESOURCES PAGE.
We all know that it is difficult to find someone qualified. I really tried my best to list good qualified businesses but I cannot guarantee that. Contacting the business two times and give them no more than one week to respond. PLEASE if you do not get a reply or are not happy with anyone's service, or the phone number is bad, send me an email and let me know.
Prices vary so don't give up. I found one very good window restorer in NJ that charged $900 to restore one window and another that charges $3,000 for the same window ( I removed them from my list). If you know of someone that can be added to the list I would like to know that too. I really need your help to make this a valuable resource and would appreciate any feedback.
This is what you need to do:
I have a listing of carpenters and there are three other organizations that also have a list of restorers. If you are still unable to find someone you will need to contact your State Historic Preservation Office as stated below.
Again, please let me know if you have any problem with anyone listed here.
