A new chapter for a
1915 Bethel home.

Originally built in 1915 and believed to have once served as a local schoolhouse, this historic Bethel property is undergoing a thoughtful renovation that honors its character while preparing it for the years ahead.

Beginning with significant structural repairs to the rear porch, the project includes reconstructed deck framing, exterior siding improvements, and new Matthews Brothers windows. Each phase reflects a careful approach to restoring stability, improving functionality, and preserving the home's distinctive character.

Window Replacement

New Matthews Brothers windows are being installed as part of the home's ongoing renovation, bringing updated functionality while respecting its historic character.

The work beneath the surface.

The renovation began with significant structural repairs to the rear porch, where a six-inch difference in elevation required careful correction. The Mountain Ridge team gradually raised one side by 4½ inches, installed new support posts, and rebuilt portions of the framing with a triple carrying beam.

With the porch stabilized, work has progressed to exterior siding and new Matthews Brothers windows. Each phase brings this historic Bethel home closer to its next chapter, balancing necessary improvements with respect for its original character.
