When a window is fully repaired and restored, it opens and closes like BUTTER! 😍😍😍 Our restoration specialist, Marcus, and his team are doing incredible work.

We removed a panel of trim beneath a second floor window so we could install new lights on the first floor porch. Photo 2 is the back of the panel. Note in photo 4 the hand-hewn ridge cut out so that the panel fits securely in place. Discovering these details make this project so much fun!

All new electrical is coming along in the house and we are particularly excited to see the chandelier wiring going in. Won’t those medallions be beautiful with grand fixtures hanging beneath them again?

You’ll forgive us if we just have to take one more minute to admire the window hardware. Isn’t the detail beautiful?

FOUND: Ornate decorative picture rail hooks. These fit over the picture rail and then art is hung from the hook. No holes in the plaster! Aren’t they lovely?

Window locks and hardware are being cleaned and prepared to go back on the restored windows. You can see each set is labeled so it goes back in the exact window it came from.

While up on the roof, we discovered initials carved in the brick of the northwest chimney. The Hecks had a daughter named Susie but we’d never accuse her of being “Miss S. H.”...would we?🤔 #heckandrewshouse #ncrealtors #raleighnc #northcarolina #historicpreservation #architecture #preservation #restoration #design #history #historic #renovation #oldhouselove

In addition to the full renovation of the Heck-Andrews House, we are adding some space on the location of the original carriage house. This space will contain restrooms and catering. We’ll show you progress on that structure this week.

When we pulled up the flooring in the rear addition, built in the 1920s, we found these markings. The floors will be reinstalled when structural work is complete.
