Rehabilitation – Smith McDowell House, Roof Replacement

Years of planning went into the roof replacement project recently completed at the Smith-McDowell House. The copper used was manipulated by hand, giving the finished roof a more historically authentic look. Over the next few years, the copper will take on a beautiful patina for all to enjoy.

Adaptive Reuse – Leo’s House of Thirst

This modest beauty has been everything from a residence to a dentist’s office and is now Leo’s House of Thirst. We love a rehabilitation that shows that even simple buildings can be saved and turned into something special!
