Historic Building & Home Reconditioning

Aptcon embraces the need for preservation of historic buildings. We are very experienced in converting historic commercial and residential buildings into vibrant office space and living areas while preserving your home’s historic character, longevity, functionality, and value.

We offer the following services:

Exterior Repairs:
Sustained exposure to the elements produces a range of restoration issues for historic buildings. We at Aptcon, Inc. have extensive experience in both restoring and waterproofing damaged historic fabric. Our approach is to address the exterior envelope as a single entity, including roofing, carpentry, pointing, painting and sheet metal. Whether performing epoxy restoration to existing woodwork or in furnishing reproduction doors, sash, moldings or other millwork, our goal is to produce a durable, authentic repair that duplicates the existing work and will last for years. Whether an entire exterior, or just a few isolated items, our carpenters will carry out the repairs necessary to keep your home in good shape, while maintaining its character:

• Sills and structural repairs
• Window restoration
• Roofing, gutters, siding and exterior trim repairs
• Epoxy repairs of colums and other decorative elements
• Chimney repairs

Restorations:
Restorations are historically accurate projects carried out by removing non-original features and repairing and reconstructing missing features from the period of significance.

Renovations:
Renovations are generally less historically accurate. Most of our projects fall into this category. The goal of most of our renovations is to adapt a house (or barn, church or other old building) to its present owners. Most of our clients love their old houses but find that they're too small, the mechanical systems are outdated, the kitchens and bathrooms need updating, or the floor plan just doesn’t work for them. In these cases it may mean renovating the existing space or it may mean building an addition.
