  • Hot Trend: Shiplap Siding Wall Treatment

    We’ve been one of the area’s leading custom homebuilding and remodeling firms since 1955 and have seen trends come, go and come back in fashion again.

It may not be the brass from the 80’s, but brass accents can add sophisticated warmth to your home. Most of the new brass is not lacquered. It is left unfinished and has an aged patina.
