Building Reconstruction
Gilmanton, NH Year-Round Library
Using an antique "post and beam" frame as the base for a "new structure" is an important form of historic preservation. Bedard Preservation has reconstructed buildings into homes, museums, a bank, a library and barns.
Structural Repairs to Homes, Barns and Outbuildings
Replacing a sill, repositioning an old barn onto a new foundation or fitting a "laundry area" into a guest room, Bedard Preservation is available to work with clients on the repair and renovations needs of their homes, barns and outbuildings.
Full Project Development and Oversight
Bedard Preservation can provide full project development and oversight beginning at site planning through to project completion. The company specializes in implementing the latest technology to enable owners to have efficient and cost effective buildings. For example, using an in-floor radiant system to heat a commercially used renovated 200 year old, three story, 40 x 80 "barn" cost only $1,800 for fuel in 2011.
Building Dismantling
Unfortunately, old post and beam buildings sometimes need to be moved or removed from their current locations. Cataloguing a building through numbering, documenting, photographing and videoing ensures the structural history is preserved in order for the building to be used elsewhere.
