Here are ten great opportunities to help preserve the architectural integrity and value of your home when doing a home improvement project:
  1. Preserve the siding of your house
  2. Maintain a slate or tile roof
  3. Never buy replacement windows
  4. Incorporate important components of vintage kitchens and baths
  5. Avoid refinishing floors and woodwork
  6. Keep historic details
  7. Work with historic landscaping
  8. Retain interior plaster walls 
  9. Keep historic details on ancillary buildings 
  10. Repair, not replace copper gutters and leaders
