Specializing in the Preservation and Restoration of New England’s Historic Building Since 1977

27 YEARS HISTORIC RESTORATION EXPERIENCE. Since 1977, Early New England Restorations, Inc. has rescued, moved, restored and preserved 17th, 18th and 19th Century buildings all over New England and New York. Based in Stonington, Connecticut, we offer a complete line of reconstruction and project management services. These include restoration of existing buildings, dismantling and relocation of historic structures, and the reproduction of any period building or its components. We maintain a full-time staff of experienced restoration woodworkers, and tap a large regional network of stonemasons, plasterers, blacksmiths, painters, wood carvers and specialty sub- subcontractors. We also offer the finest architectural design services.

 

27 YEARS HISTORIC RESTORATION TRACK RECORD. Early New England Restorations, Inc. has completed thousands of projects, restored over 150 early houses, buildings, and barns, dismantled and moved over 50 structures in the six New England states, as well as New York, Colorado and California. We have been featured on the TV program THIS OLD HOUSE for our relocation and restoration of the Stratton Tavern, (see picture), and we have been the subject of numerous articles, such as those that have appeared in the magazines Architectural Digest, House and Gardens, Early American Life, and Gourmet, to name a few.


27 YEARS ANTIQUE MATERIALS INVENTORY. We can complete projects smoothly and without unnecessary delay because Early New England Restorations, Inc. has amassed a large warehouse stocked full of 17th, 18th and 19th Century authentic building materials. These include original wide board floors, hand-hewn beams, timbers and sheathing, hand-made bricks and facing stones, hand-forged wrought iron hardware, doors, paneling and antique hand-blown glass. Our warehouse is located in Pawcatuck, CT, where we also have entire 18th and 19th Century buildings in stock, professionally dismantled and ready to be relocated. We have a full inventory of 18th and 19th Century floors, numbered and ready to be installed. Our antique materials inventory is among the largest and most complete in the business.


27 YEARS ANTIQUE MATERIALS REPRODUCTION. If we don’t have the period item in our inventory, we make it. We own and operate a 10,000 square-foot Architectural Millwork Shop, also located in Pawcatuck, CT. We keep hundreds of historic molding profiles on hand to insure each project has the correct look and feel of the period we are working in. We manufacture historic sash and windows, raised-feathered panel walls, wainscot and exterior entranceways, 17th, 18th and 19th Century doors, kitchens, libraries, cupboards and staircases. Each and every item in the inventory is created in reference to original 17th, 18th or 19th specifications.


27 YEARS IDENTIFYING SPECIALTY SUBCONTRACTORS. Early New England Restorations, Inc. can restore your building, and do it with the best local talent available because for 27 years we have personally identified and worked with a network of specialty craftsmen/subcontractors. Our subcontractors have been carefully selected for their skills and their understanding of historic structures. They are at our disposal for any historic project—large or small, simple or complicated. This network is in place in every state in New England.


27 YEARS HISTORICAL RESTORATION INTEGRITY. Since 1977, Early New England Restorations, Inc. has earned a well-deserved reputation for achieving a high level of accurate, architectural integrity based on quality workmanship and attention to historic detail. We take no short cuts: Using time-honored joinery, all work is mortised and tenon and pegged. We are what our name says we are. And yet, while we re-create the best 17th, 18th or 19th Century facsimiles, we also know how to build into a project all the modern conveniences of the 21st Century—without their visible signs. We blend modern technology with tradition, offering the highest levels of comfort and efficiency.


27 YEARS HISTORICAL RESTORATION QUALITY AND ECONOMY. Early New England Restorations, Inc. offers the highest quality product for the most cost-effective price. We can do this because of our long track record in the trade, our talented, trained and experienced staff, our accessible inventory and manufacturing capabilities, as well as our local area network of specialty craftsmen and subcontractors. There are no short cuts or substitutes for this level of achievement: Your pocketbook is the ultimate beneficiary.
