Garvin Weeks Farmstead North Reading MA Entryway

The projects we have done together have transformed my antique home and barn from a mishmash of odd and unsound structures to a beautiful period home, both inside and out. It was wonderful to work with a group that fully understands my desire to preserve, protect and restore my house with historic accuracy but ensure modern comfort.

Hidden Farmhouse Wishing Well Historic Topsfield MA Kitchen

I like to come up with my own ideas, but I’m so glad I enlisted Chloe’s help. Things that I would have never thought of – different shades of white, the type of backsplash tile, black garage door, you name it. She always came prepared with samples, ideas and a professional attitude to get things done.
