Question Answers
How does Day & Age handle countertop installation for historic homes in Ledyard?
We specialize in countertop installation that respects the character of older homes. For historic properties, we often use materials like soapstone or butcher block that match the period, and we fabricate custom pieces in our Ledyard shop to ensure a perfect fit. Our team’s background in fine woodworking and museum restoration means we can seamlessly integrate modern durability with historic aesthetics.
What does damage restoration involve after a water leak in my Ledyard home?
Whether it’s a bathroom overflow, leaking skylight, kitchen sink leak, or sump pump failure, we start by assessing the damage and drying the area. Then we restore or replace damaged woodwork, drywall, and flooring, matching original details to preserve your home’s history. Our experience with historic structures ensures we handle moisture issues carefully to prevent future damage.
Can you restore a wooden boat that has water damage near Mystic Seaport?
Yes. Our team restored a 1929 Lawley & Sons wooden sailboat that won Best In Show at Mystic Seaport’s Wooden Boat Show. We address water damage by carefully drying the wood, replacing rotted sections, and refinishing to match the original. We work both on-site and at our shop in Ledyard, close to Mystic Seaport and other local landmarks.
