Expert Historic Home Consultation in Atlanta, GA

Atlanta's historic home consultation service from Southern Trim Co helps homeowners plan renovations the right way. Atlanta has over 20 designated historic districts, including Inman Park, Grant Park, Virginia-Highland, and Druid Hills. Each district carries its own design rules and review requirements. Before any work begins, we walk through your home and assess what you have. We look at original trim, millwork, structural conditions, and exterior details that may fall under Atlanta Urban Design Commission review. Many pre-1940 Atlanta homes were built with methods and materials no longer used today. Knowing what you are working with before planning saves time and avoids costly surprises. Our consultation gives you a clear picture of your home's condition, what changes are realistic, and how your renovation scope aligns with local preservation standards. You leave with a focused plan, not guesswork. Call Southern Trim Co to schedule your Atlanta historic home consultation.

The moulding work they did on our front porch is exactly what we hoped for. Every detail was handled with real care.

They restored our original wooden windows instead of pushing us to replace them. The craftsmanship is outstanding and the windows work better than ever.
