At Thoughtful Craftsmen our mission is to maintain the historic accuracy of every residence, landmark, and building built prior to WWII in Milwaukee and its neighboring suburbs.
We have named ourselves Thoughtful Craftsmen, formerly Community Building and Restoration, to acknowledge our focus on the craft of old home and landmark preservation. Our team works consistently in many neighborhoods, including the Eastside, Shorewood, and elsewhere within our region for over 20 years.
Growing from the passion of the founder, Erik Lindberg and support from co-owner, Alex Montezon, we began with a few services. As we started to understand the broad range of needs for quality restoration by these unique and sometimes temperamental homes, our services grew to encompass additional work including:
We are most proud of our long-running relationship with our customers. This is our opportunity to collaborate with our clients and community on their historic projects. Thoughtful Craftsmen have worked on almost a thousand houses in the area, some have changed owners up to five times, and with many customers as they upscale or downsize. We’ve also taken on larger commercial projects, like the Dousman StageCoach Inn in Brookfield and the Fireman’s Park Pavilion in Columbus.
