Old houses, careful hands

The housing stock here is old and it is good — brick two-storys and four-squares with real porches, dentil trim, and detail that a bad install actively damages. Staples into hundred-year-old wood trim are not a small thing, and neither is a ladder foot on a slate porch roof.

So University City is a careful-hands job. Clip-only attachment, weight taken on the gutter edge rather than the trim, and crews that have worked on old houses enough to know where not to lean.

Nothing puncturedClips only. Century trim, slate and copper never take a staple or a screw from us.

Trees, not just roofsOld canopy is the best feature on these lots. Wrapped trunks read from the whole block.

Porches done properlyGarland woven with lights along the rail and columns — the detail these houses were built for.

What suits a hundred-year-old house

Warm white, almost always. These homes were built before anything glowed at 6000 kelvin and they look wrong under cool white — the brick goes grey and the trim goes blue. A warm run along the eave, garland on the porch, a wreath on the door, and the house does the rest of the work itself.

We work the streets between the Loop and Olive all season. Tell us the address and we will price it from the porch line out. (636) 244-6125.
