What do a 5 year old home, a 25 year old home, and a 100 year old home all have in common? They all need maintenance- but with proper upkeep there is no reason they can’t all live to be 200 years old.
Matchless Carpentry and Restoration aims to preserve and maintain all these homes for a variety of reasons: environmental sustainability, energy efficiency, and the preservation of historic character in our communities. Not only is the craftsmanship and quality of materials present in historic buildings difficult and prohibitively expensive to reproduce, but also there is a certain amount of embodied energy present in these buildings from the original construction and production of materials. With new environmentally friendly products such as recycled cellulose insulation and energy efficient storm windows, there is no need for an old home to be drafty and uncomfortable in the winter time.
To tear down an old building and construct a new one would not only damage the historic integrity of a community, but also would cost over twice the energy as preserving one! Let’s work together to preserve our heritage and make your home comfortable for you and generations to come.
Thanks for visiting and welcome to Matchless Carpentry and Restoration!
