This week we finally began repairs to the Hale House. The turret cornice was failing and it was leading to water intrusion in a roundabout way. There was a full-round component to the cornice profile which had to be replaced. They don’t make wood in the exact profile we needed to match what’s there so we had to make it in shop. It’s easy to forget that when these houses were built there were factories that were cranking these components out. But those factories are long gone, so the best option is never to defer maintenance.
This is just the latest work we have done for the Heritage Square Museum in Los Angeles. We hope to work with them more in the future.
