Why You Should Join the Movement

Finding a Future in the Past

This year, more old homes will be gutted or torn down and original historic details will be relaced with cheap imitations. Owners of antique homes want to find a contractor and products that will honor the historic character, not destroy it. HGTV has created a market for vintage home renovation, however their perscription is gut it, replace it and demo it! 

In this presentation from 2016, Ty McBride, founder of Wood Window Rescue, makes a call for people to enter the preservation trades. To become RESCUE PROS. Since this time, hundreds of people have responded. They have found financial freedom. They have found purpose in their work and they have contributed to saving our built enviroment. They have found a FUTURE in the PAST.
