Cambridge homes near Harvard and MIT have some of the oldest standing residential architecture in America. Period millwork, hand-hewn beams and original 1700s-1800s trim require master-level restoration carpentry.
Seventeen years working on Cambridge homes means we know the climate, the permits, the housing stock and the way these properties actually go together.
