For anyone who has undergone restoration work on their home, you\u2019ll know that it\u2019s seldom a \u201cquick fix\u201d situation; this is especially true of historic homes. Hiring a contractor for <\/span>kitchen painting<\/span><\/a> can quickly become much more involved than originally anticipated. Yes, it\u2019s highly likely for a job to be done correctly, but issues underneath the surface must be attended to before finish work can be completed. There\u2019s an element of opening \u201cPandora\u2019s box\u201d that comes with the undertaking. When one problem\/issue is fixed, it can reveal another waiting behind it – it\u2019s simply the way things go. <\/span><\/p>\n

For Catchlight, it is quite common to be brought on to a <\/span>historic home restoration<\/span><\/a> project for interior or <\/span>exterior painting services<\/span><\/a>, but it\u2019s quickly discovered that the home will need work performed that may not strictly be in our painting wheelhouse. But wait!<\/span><\/p>\n

Historic Restoration Capabilities<\/span><\/h2>\n

In historic homes, a simple painting project can quickly become more involved – we have our own resources in-house for <\/span>light carpentry<\/span><\/a>, which includes matching existing molding profiles, shaping wood shingles to match originals, rot repair, masonry repair and sealing, window repair, glass replacement – all issues are within our skilled carpenters’ capabilities. However, when there\u2019s an issue that our team is not equipped to handle, that\u2019s when we\u2019ll recommend someone who can. <\/span><\/p>\n

Rare Restoration<\/span><\/h3>\n

Many of our clients own historic homes; Colonials, <\/span>Victorians<\/span><\/a>, and mid-century architectural marvels are found in many Bostonian townships. In these homes, if antique furniture needs repair or a 19th-century French chandelier needs rewiring, you can\u2019t run down to Home Depot or Target and source the parts and expertise needed to restore them properly. We have a great working relationship with <\/span>RARE Restoration<\/span><\/a> in Brookline Village for these scenarios. <\/span><\/p>\n

Working with RARE Restoration <\/span><\/h3>\n

RARE\u2019s reputation<\/span><\/a> extends throughout Boston and Greater New England. If we have a client in need of restoration work for items ranging from 1930s art deco floor lamps to antique door locks, RARE has seen and repaired it all; trust us, there are some interesting and esoteric items out there in need of restoration work, chances are RARE can get the job done with beautiful results, exceeding expectations. <\/span><\/p>\n

Woodwork restoration, metal work\/polishing, glass repair, and rewiring vintage lighting, all the while using conservation-grade materials to ensure authenticity and longevity, are at the heart of what RARE does, and we\u2019re proud to work with them to bring our clients the same reference-level results that they would expect from Catchlight. <\/span><\/p>\n

Historic Restoration – Embracing Our Community <\/span><\/h3>\n

Being entrusted to work within our clients\u2019 homes and bring new life to cherished spaces is not something lost upon us. Whenever we\u2019re committed to painting, restoring, and rejuvenating a home, the entire team is dedicated to crafting results that everyone can be proud of. <\/span><\/p>\n

Over the decades of working in the Greater Boston area, we\u2019ve curated a network of historic restoration professionals, such as RARE, who are just as obsessed with beautiful results as we are. <\/span><\/p>\n
