Renovation

Brought back, not replaced.

Renovation and architectural work for historic houses in Charleston. We document what is there, draw what is missing, and put it back in the same materials.

How credits work
A corner room of a historic house mid-renovation, bare plaster and original shutters in daylight
Before — plaster, light, original shutters
The same corner room after restoration, smooth plaster and restored cypress shutters
After — the same corner, the same window

Renovation

Structural repair, plaster, joinery and shutters, carried out in the house's own vocabulary.

Architectural services

Measured drawings, period-appropriate detail, and the documentation that goes with them.

Preservation tax credits

Credits, handled quietly.

Preservation tax credits can change what a renovation costs. We work through eligibility, documentation and applications with you, alongside the drawings.

  • Eligibility

    Whether the property and the work sit inside the program.

  • Documentation

    The record the program asks for, assembled with the drawings.

  • Applications

    Prepared and submitted, with the renovation sequenced around them.

Guided tours

Come after dark.

Guided tours of historic homes and antebellum estates, walked slowly, once the streetlights come on. Tell us what you would like to see and we will arrange the evening.
