Restoring Savannah

One of the best parts of my job is working with a handful of contractors in Savannah who have a passion for the history of the city and a vision for reviving and restoring neglected properties.

Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of working with Honza Minichbauer, of Honza Properties, LLC on a complete restoration of a home on 37th Street in Savannah. This neglected home was overwhelming – the home had to literally be brought back to life. We worked together on space planning the property so that it would meet the needs of modern life, while keeping the historic elements that define the home and give it character. Here, see some of the dramatic before and after shots:
