I've been exclusively in the remodel business and refurb of rentals since the early '90s. Screw new construction, that crap is too much feast or famine for my tastes. My favorite jobs entail old victorians, we have quite a few still standing here in Orange Co. Oldest that I've done work on was built in 1877, The Minter House in Santa Ana, Ca. Historic Register listed. I've heard of Warren Miller, who are those other guys?  |
Registry restores are a real challenge. Copying mouldings can be especially trying at times. There is a potential can of worms behind every wall too but I think it's part of the excitement. It's definitely nice to have an inspector who is reasonable and has worked in the trades.
