Historic Door rehab
Hello! I live in a Corktown 1840's workers cottage and in dire need of a door rehab, I'd love to retain the existing door, it's original to the home and needs to be stripped and secured. I believe it's salvageable. I wanted to check who you'd recommend that would be knowledgable in historic doors and not jump to making a new one.
Thanks so much and talk soon

Great! Thanks for the recommendation!
I used Chris Taylor for a 1910's door rehab. He built new custom sidelights to match the door I picked up at a architectural salvage in Toledo.
He installed a Baldwin lock set and hinges.
He even added inset balloon weather stripping and a mechanical door sweep seal.
