Bardes Home

The Bardes home in Lincon is gorgeous home with a classic style that lent itself well to a subtle contrast of gray and white.  The subtleness combined with the roof color really added a great deal of dimension to the house showing off the trim work and design well.

The walls were done in "Owl's Gray," the trim in "Chalk White," and the doors were capped off with a high-gloss Evergreen.  Thanks Dave!

O'Halloran Deck Construction


























In the process of updating the O'Halloran's house with a fresh new look, we discovered the support beams and header for their wraparound deck were rotting away. Thirty years of Vermont weather had done it's damage. To cap off this transformation and remove the weathered portions of the deck, we rebuilt the supports, and then finished off the project with a fresh stain over the entire deck.

Partnering with Charley Goodman Excavation, our deck re-build consisted of setting up a temporary support system, removing the old supports, jacking the deck, pouring new footings, installing the new supports, and capping it all off with a few decorative touches. Once the transformation was complete, we coated the deck with Ben Moore's new Arbor Coat - 'solid bodied stain.'

At the end of the day, we were able to sleep well knowing that our customers had a strong and safe deck for their kids to run around on.

Thanks Tim!

p.s. On a side note Charlie Goodman is an absolute blast to work with.  He does great work and is always smiling and loving life.

South End Brownstone Renovation

A few years ago I worked with D.H. Bardes, Inc. on a very impressive transformation of a six story brownstone in Boston's South End. From start to finish, each of the six floors was completely gutted, stripped, and rebuilt from the ground up. As you can see, it was quite the overhaul.
