About

Historic Restoration
Older buildings ask for patience, coordination, and good judgment.
The challenge is usually in the transitions: drainage, flashing, carpentry tie-ins, masonry conditions, access, and the hidden issues that only show up once work begins.

Historic Past Jobs
Historic restoration projects, preservation awards, and older institutional work.
Alden Bailey has worked on churches, schools, libraries, civic buildings, and other older properties throughout the Northeast. The common thread has always been careful restoration work, good field judgment, and coordination between trades when the building itself leaves very little room for error.
