had the best experience with Stratton Restoration. They had no problem with my mother and I discussing updating a few things since we had to restore the house. If they didn't feel it would work either Wes or Gabriel would let us know why and help us with other options. In the end the house turned out beautiful and my mother feels she has made new friends.she loved speaking with Gabriel. He's very knowledgeable in his craft and will take the time to explain to you what, why and how about the rebuilding aspect of what he is doing. Sometimes that's helpful to know and understand why it has to be done in a certain way. One thing Gabriel taught me is restoration is so different from original construction; in that you creativity comes into play when putting a place back together. I would highly recommend this company for any and all your restoration needs!
