When our team at JD Hostetter & Associates was approached by the homeowner of this stunning full brick historic property in Indianapolis, we were eager to tackle the range of problems it faced. Rotted windows, peeling paint, leaking gutters, a deteriorating roof, and rotted soffit and trim were all detracting from the home’s beauty and integrity.
Meeting Guidelines for Historic Preservation with a Thorough Consultation Process
Our commitment to excellence begins with a thorough consultation process. For this particular project, our team engaged in several meetings to ensure we understood the homeowner’s needs and desires.
For the initial meeting, we sat down with the homeowner to discuss the scope of the project. During our second meeting, we discussed design changes, budget considerations, and dropped off samples for the homeowner’s convenience.
The third and fourth meetings were dedicated to discussing and meeting with the Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission (IHPC) to ensure our plans met their guidelines.
Finally, we presented the final choices to the homeowner and finalized the contract!
