Juan dela Cruz
A Bridge Between Past and Present
Bringing an old house back to life is a rewarding challenge.
- Consult a Heritage Architect: They can help you respect the original design.
- Restore, Don't Replace: Repair original windows, doors, and flooring whenever possible.
- Update Utilities Carefully: Modernize electrical and plumbing systems without damaging the house structure. This is more than a renovation; it's a restoration of history.
