RESIDENTIAL GALLERY
We enjoy working with houses of all styles and periods, and in this gallery you will see houses dating from a late 17th century farmhouse to the height of Queen Anne Victorian style and contemporary design.
We are especially proud when people drive by some of the historic homes we've added to and restored and say "we can't tell which part is new". Our projects are large and small, but their significance to us is not in their size or cost, but in the difference they make to the life of a family. Of our more than 200 residential projects, these are some of the most current.

QUEEN ANNE VICTORIAN
