For this client’s historical renovation, we were brought in at a critical moment—previous contractors had left the project stalled and the homeowner in a difficult position. To keep the renovation moving forward, we stepped into a general contracting role, coordinating the next phases of work and ensuring the project regained momentum. 

The first priority was addressing the termite‑damaged framing. We removed all compromised material and installed new structural framing to restore integrity to the affected areas. Once opened up, it became clear that the surrounding walls were out of plumb, requiring the installation of tapered furring strips to correct alignment before any finish work could proceed. With the framing corrected, we installed new sheetrock throughout the space. A separate finishing crew then floated and painted the walls, bringing them back to a smooth, clean, and historically appropriate appearance. Correcting the wall plane and coordinating the finishing sequence ensured the final surfaces were straight, true, and ready for trim.

Once the walls were complete, we installed new crown molding, tying the room together with a crisp, period‑appropriate detail that complements the home’s historic character. This final step restored the architectural definition of the space and completed the transition from structural repair to refined finish work.
