Example 2 - 2006 Restoration of 1920 Construction
This most attractive salt box home is sited on a steep hillside and commands a sweeping view of Puget Sound. Such a location, subject to inevitable pounding of marine weather, places the severest demands on the home’s exterior protective membrane. Our restoration was engineered accordingly.
