Historic Home Doctor is a Brookline contractor focused on older-home restoration and remodeling. Its Houzz profile lists carpentry, complete restorations, masonry, roofing, gutters, windows, waterproofing, painting, and related work. A homeownerβs June 2017 review describes a two-week exterior project involving re-shingling, masonry repair, carpentry, gutter replacement, and staining/painting. The customer said the work stayed on budget, the crew protected plantings, cleaned up daily, and completed the planned work; that account is useful but dated, so confirm current availability and practices before booking. The profile shows one 5-star review and one project, with no newer written customer account in the listing. Historic Home Doctor may fit owners of older homes who need coordinated exterior restoration; ask for a current written scope, timeline, and warranty details for the specific work.
Karl Aghassi and his team recently completed two weeks or work on the exterior of my home, including re-shingling, masonry repair, carpentry, gutter replacement, and staining/painting. Throughout the effort, Karl was a pleasure to work with. His attention to detail, aesthetic sense, keen eye, and professionalism never wavered. Along the way he suggested a number of additional items that not only helped to ensure the structural integrity of the house but also enhanced its appearance. Karl and his workers were always respectful and meticulous, taking great care to protect plantings and to clean up each day. Quality and pride in their work was consistent. All of the work was completed as planned and according to budget.
