Steve Bedard, owner of Bedard Preservation and Restoration, will help you learn the importance of understanding the history and significant features of your house before embarking on a rehabilitation project. There are many clues your house can provide if you know how to read the evidence. Why are the stairs in this location? When was the back section of the house added, or was it built first? Are these windows original to my 19th century house? Having the answers to such questions will help direct your plans when rehabilitating. Take the time to live in, research and document your house to better understand its architectural features, building evolution and how the house functions before work begins.

Steve Bedard has over 45 years of experience working on old structures, primarily houses and barns, dating from 1665 to 1936. Steve uses a “common sense” approach in all aspects of his work -- from building evaluations and assessments to complete exterior and interior restorations. He works with mechanical contractors to insure 21st century comfort and convenience while still maintaining the highest level of preservation standards and ethics
