Common Inquiries

Understanding our approach

Do you travel for residential projects?

What is restored lath and plaster?

Yes. While our primary offices are in Chicago, our master timber framers and structural engineers consult and execute historical restorations and complex reconstructions across the United States.

Instead of replacing historic walls with modern drywall, we stabilize the original wood lath underneath and apply traditional plaster. This preserves both the acoustic properties and historical integrity of your home.

How do you handle structural failure?

What is your project timeline?

We begin with a comprehensive structural assessment. Our engineering-first approach ensures that we stabilize foundations and timber framing before restoring any cosmetic heritage elements.

Every historical property presents unique challenges. After our initial assessment, we provide a detailed structural roadmap. A typical restoration or reconstruction project spans three to nine months.
