Specializing in Back Bay brownstones and Cambridge Victorians, we restore original clawfoot tubs, hex tile floors, and pedestal sinks with museum-grade techniques. Our craftsmen replicate damaged plaster medallions and wood wainscoting using historic molds and milling patterns.
Modern upgrades are installed discreetly - heated floors beneath restored tile, whisper-quiet exhaust fans in vintage-style housings. We coordinate with Boston Landmarks Commission on protected elements while bringing plumbing up to code. Every project includes documentation of original features for future preservationists.
