SHERLOCK HOMESTM
In-Person Consultation

This in-person two-hour in-depth analysis provides the homeowner with an arsenal of tools to restore their home to its best possible condition. The program offers the expertise that comes with familiarity of historic buildings, the knowledge of history, building design history, and the understanding of construction and finishes along with regional and local building styles.

The program is designed to accommodate owners of historic homes and owners of historic buildings in need of advice.

Architectural investigation requires a wide range of knowledge and skills, our team will look at your home much as an archeologist approaches a site, looking at the layers of changes that have occurred over time. Through this process they will point out both historic features that are original to the home, changes that have been made to original fabric, and advise on how these changes should be addressed.

The homeowner is asked to prepare as many questions as they may have in advance to get the greatest amount of work accomplished in the time allotted. Exterior color consultation is not included with this program. The team will suggest resources, and other professionals and trades people as needed.

The cost is $350 and the number of Sherlock HomesTM consultations available per year is limited. Appointments must be made in advance, and there is a waiting list.

If yours is an urgent need you may wish to do a virtual Sherlock Homes instead, or let staff know when you receive your initial callback that you have an urgent need.

Please submit the consultation request form and you will be contacted to make an appointment.
