38 years in home improvement and commercial tenant improvements. Many historic properties involved which became a specialty. No one really survives totally from historic work, the money is never long. However, a systematical approach to older structures can eliminate a lot of waste and expense. And, make the preservationists happy.
One thing for sure, the owners and the historic preservationists are always on opposite banks of the river. I've threaded that needle more than once.
Also, most trades people don't have the knowledge to do historic work even if they are accomplished at their craft. It takes a different approach.
Lecture over.
I'm retired but would love to 'consult.'
