Interior and exterior restoration for San Bernardino County, blending historic preservation with code compliance.
Project
John Rains House and Museum
This project involves the comprehensive interior and exterior restoration of the historic John Rains House, a significant cultural landmark in San Bernardino County. The scope of work is designed to preserve the architectural integrity and historical character of the structure while ensuring full compliance with current building codes and safety regulations.
Exterior restoration includes structural stabilization, repair or replication of original woodwork, siding, and architectural details, as well as restoration of windows, roofing, and façade elements using historically appropriate materials and techniques. Special attention is given to maintaining the building’s original appearance while improving durability and weather resistance.
Delivery Challenges
Interior restoration focuses on preserving and rehabilitating period-specific features such as plaster walls, wood finishes, flooring, and fixtures. Where necessary, upgrades are sensitively integrated to meet modern standards, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and fire safety systems; all implemented in a manner that minimizes impact on historic fabric.
