Alteration

Over the years old homes have often been remodeled for various reasons. During the 1960-1980s the ideas and methods employed were, more often than not, extremely detrimental to the traditional appearance of the Character home.


Even today, alterations and "upgrades" are carried out on old homes with little, or no, sympathy to the feel and character of the home.

The result -

Depreciation of value
Over capitalization
Difficulty in resale
Reduced life expectancy
Wasted investment
