Round Top Restoration
CABINS AND FARMHOUSES
Throughout Texas there are numerous antique farmhouses and in areas that saw the earliest pioneer settlement, there remain a few rare log structures. 
These treasures, often later converted to barns or other functional outbuildings and hidden by a cloak of disrepair and unconcern. Many have been destroyed by shortsighted owners or developers. In addition to their obvious historic value, these special buildings can become uniquely valuable real estate to the cautious and discriminating buyer.At Round Top Restoration, we specialize in finding, purchasing, moving and restoring such buildings. We know how to improve such structures, complete with all the modern conveniences, without damaging their architectural integrity. It's an art and a science...and it can be a good value!
There is nothing more exciting than watching a distressed old colonial or victorian dwelling recover its former grandeur. Nothing says "home" more eloquently than a cozy farmhouse or log cabin that has been lovingly restored. The unique character and patina of the old wooden structures, the sometimes primitive, sometimes ornate architecture of antique buildings give them a special feeling unmatched by contemporary structures.However, the construction process that performs this miracle is a specialized one. The same techniques that a new construction builder uses to ply his trade often do not apply to this type of work. The materials, subcontractors, methods and skills necessary to accomplish a quality restoration are very different from those that are needed to build or remodel a modern structure. (See Kindling - Adventures in Old House Restoration) Make sure you find a builder that has the skills and experience necessary to turn your dream of a restored Texas pioneer home into a reality.
