Do you have an older home? Many historical homes provide glimpses of stories before even stepping inside. However, homeowners often run into the obstacle of needing to update parts of a historical home without losing its charm. These updates can be essential in keeping one’s home energy efficient, comfortable, and safe. CR3 American Exteriors has worked with homes of all ages— from very old to brand new— and we can help you with any exterior remodeling projects you might need. If you have a historical home that requires fixes, then this is the blog for you.
The first thing to do when considering remodels is to decide what features are worth preserving. These might include original trim, brickwork, and even wood siding. Some of these features can be restored while others will need to be replaced entirely. When replacements are required, materials that mimic the original look can be selected. A lot of historical homes also have unique features hidden within their structure such as wooden decor in doorway arches, hand-carved trim, and so much more. These can be worked into updates and even refreshed to preserve the original aesthetic. This is a great way to preserve the unique nature of your home while still keeping it in good condition.
Many historical homes require window updates as older ones do not offer as much protection or energy efficiency. Styles that match the current size, shape, and look are a great way to ensure an authentic feel.
