After an arsonist set fire to the exterior of this historic building in downtown Dartmouth in December 2001 (see photo 1 & 2), K.B. Clarke performed emergency services and was later awarded the tender for reconstruction. Registered Heritage properties in HRM have extensive regulations and requirements for any alterations and the original integrity, materials and consistency must be kept. The above residence was originally constructed with balloon framing which is a method of framing seldom used anymore and this allowed the fire to run all the way to the underside of the attic making deodorization a huge challenge (see photo 3 & 4). Roof, siding, steps, plaster, decking, windows were all slowly replaced and restored to its pre-loss condition and the end product is one in which the owner said "We're ecstatic with the quality of workmanship and professionalism of K.B. Clarke". Thanks Guys for a job well done! |
