RE: BARN RESTORATION

Many years of thought and research had gone into the restoration of the barns on my property. After observing some of your completed work it was apparent that was the quality and workmanship I desired.

Now that the work has been completed I want to let you know that my expectations have been fulfilled. I appreciate your ability to work out the structural and design details and find materials that matched the barns’ original appearance.

The barns have a new life once again. The original barn was built at some point in the last half of the 19th century. It was restructured into a cow barn and moved two hundred feet by my grandfather to its present location in approximately 1925. He had the saddle roof modified into a gambrel design to accommodate a larger quantity of hay. Your completed work has given it a third life that will extend its usefulness well through this century.
