Century-home details

Cleveland's West Side
Careful repairs for Lakewood’s century homes, compact layouts, layered finishes, and older doors, trim, plaster, windows, and paint systems.
For an older Lakewood home, note original woodwork, plaster transitions, window components, and layers of paint before planning a repair. Removing a small damaged piece can affect material you want to preserve.
Original casing, baseboards, doors, hardware, and plaster openings may be repairable but difficult to match with current stock profiles.
Tell Tim the home’s age and any known coating-test results before work that disturbs old paint. Lead-safe planning or a qualified specialist may be needed.
Compact lots, narrow stairs, close room transitions, and limited staging space can affect material size, dust control, and where furniture can be assembled.
Before sanding, cutting, or removing painted material in an older Lakewood home, establish the age and condition of the coating. Tim should not be asked to treat unknown old paint like ordinary modern latex.
