Historical Home Renovation – Milwaukee, WI

Originally Built in 1912

Reference # 31819

As one of the largest cities in Wisconsin, Milwaukee has many neighborhoods that feature homes and buildings that are eligible for historic building rehabilitation tax credits. When a home is registered as a historic building and is in need of updating, a homeowner and contractor follow specific procedures for with a historical society to ensure the architecture and historical authenticity are preserved.

BCI Exteriors was contracted to update this east side historical home this Spring. A new asphalt and rubber roof were installed to replace the existing slate material on the home. In addition to a new roof, custom fabricated copper flashing and built-in gutters were installed.

Before any work was completed, a proposal and contract had to be presented to the local historical board. The board reviews all construction alterations on historical homes to ensure the original time period design and aesthetic are followed.
