Your beautiful, classic California home is looking a little faded. Underneath, you can still see the grand lady, but the edges are worn and the paint is beginning to peel away. Before you hire a painter, read on to find out why historic surface restoration can make good financial sense.

Classic Historic Surface Restoration Adds Value

Skilled historic surface restoration is an art. It begins from the inside, with detailed preparation work, and works out to the exterior. Taking into account information such as the original colors and period hardware, a true historic restoration will actually add to your home’s overall value by bringing it back to its original glory.

We’ve all seen countless stories in the media of renovations that fail to align with the original house. If your intent is to turn back time, craftsmanship is key. The combination of the proper materials in the skilled hands of a historic restoration surface team will be your best bet.

Classic Historic Surface Restoration Adds Beauty

Even if, somewhere along the way, the changes made to your classic home weren’t reflective of its true nature, a painting professional experienced in restoration can reveal your home’s original inner beauty. Folks dedicated to restoration are often like detectives, checking under current layers to see what lies beneath. Better still, they have both the tools and the know-how to bring forth details that have long been hidden.

Classic Historic Surface Restoration May be Required

Depending on your San Diego neighborhood, and current historic guidelines in your area, as a homeowner, you may be required to adhere to strict rules regarding any surface restoration. Choosing a professional contractor experienced in dealing with local historic districts can make the entire restoration process that much easier by avoiding pitfalls and missteps. Find a quality painting contractor that is invested in your community and secure an estimate. Knowing upfront what your specific historic surface restoration entails will start your job off on the right foot. Working together, your classic home will be as beautiful in 2018 as the year she was built.
