Colonial Restorations Colonial Restoration replaces sills, complete substructures, posts, top plates, and other structural components. While owners Tom & Brad Green will at times recommend the repair of existing beams, replacement is often the best or only solution.

Homes and barns lean to one side or sag because of structural problems. This problem can and should be corrected as it overloads the joinery. Care and experience are needed when jacking. Often jacking the center of a beam may take some of the bend out, but may also damage the mortise and tenons on each end.

After correcting structural problems, we are asked on many occasions to restore or replace the exterior and interior fabric and of a home or barn, services which we are glad to provide through our own staff or other associates. Colonial Resorations can convert your barn space to living space.

Colonial Restorations can evaluate your historic timber framed or post and beam structure. Obtaining an evaluation and estimate of frame repairs before purchasing an historic property can result in a price adjustment that is fair to all parties.
