Old Town is full of history — frame cottages that survived the Great Fire, narrow Victorian rowhouses in the protected Old Town Triangle, and new luxury homes squeezed onto tight lots. It's beautiful, and it demands a careful hand.
We treat these homes accordingly: protecting original woodwork and plaster, working within landmark requirements, and updating aging systems without tearing the place apart.

Old Town FAQ
Questions from the neighborhood
Do you work in Old Town's historic district?
Yes. We regularly work in the Old Town Triangle and surrounding historic blocks, updating systems in Victorian rowhouses and cottages while protecting original detail and respecting landmark requirements.
Can you add A/C to a historic home with no ductwork?
Yes — ductless mini-splits are the go-to for Old Town's tight, historic homes where running ductwork isn't practical. Quiet, efficient, and minimally invasive.
Is the wiring in old Old Town homes safe?
Many pre-Fire and Victorian-era homes still have knob-and-tube or undersized service. We inspect, give you a clear picture, and update wiring and panels safely and to code.
Do you handle permits for landmarked homes?
We do, including the extra care landmark and historic-district properties require. We pull the permits and manage inspections for you.
