Highland Park is the oldest and most demanding housing stock we work in, and it deserves to be described honestly rather than flattered. Many of these houses date to the nineteen-twenties and thirties, a good number were architect-designed, and the detail — plaster, millwork, steel windows, proportions that were drawn rather than picked from a catalogue — is the reason the house is worth what it is worth.
The housing here
Nineteen-twenties and thirties architect-designed homes under the Town's own permitting — preservation-grade work where matching existing detail is the specification, not an upgrade.
That sets the standard for the work. Replacing an original profile with the nearest stock moulding is not a saving here, it is damage. Matching what is already there costs more, takes longer, and is the entire point.
The second reality is procedural: the Town of Highland Park runs its own permitting, and it is exacting. What that means for you is that the approval path is part of the schedule, not an afterthought. We plan the job around it, and we confirm current requirements with the Town for your specific address rather than quoting a rule from memory — these are revised, and getting it wrong here is expensive.

Highland Park questions, answered
- Can original millwork and plaster be matched rather than replaced?
- In most cases yes, and in a house of this age it is usually the right call. Profiles can be milled to match an existing run, and competent plaster repair is still a real trade. It costs more than pulling it out and fitting stock material — and pulling it out is precisely what removes the value from the house.
- How does permitting work in Highland Park?
- The Town administers its own process and applies it carefully, so we treat approval as part of the programme rather than paperwork at the end. We confirm the current requirements with the Town for your specific address and scope before committing to a schedule.
- Do you work with our architect or designer?
- Regularly, and on this kind of house it is usually the right structure. They hold the design intent, we hold the build — sequencing, trades, site protection and the detail of actually executing what was drawn.
