A second life for the farmhouse
On this long-disused Ariège farmhouse, part of the building was converted into an annexe flat, in a sweeping renovation carried out in partnership with a fellow joiner from the Ariège. Along with the floor joists, external cladding came to create a balcony, and the building was made by fitting all the windows and doors: three windows, a sliding patio door, a French door and a front door, all in pine.
New, but in its place
The challenge on this kind of job is not only technical. The frontage had to stay coherent: new windows and doors, meticulous fitting with and neat trims, but a style that respects the traditional old building. Seen from the courtyard, this part of the farmhouse has changed lives without changing families.
My clients' reviews, project after project, are all there to read on my Google listing:
See my reviewsThe questions I'm often asked
Why wood rather than uPVC on an old building? What makes a good installation? When should windows be replaced?
I have practical answers to all of that, and two articles to dig deeper: uPVC, aluminium or wood windows and when to replace your windows. And for your own situation, call me: the quote is free.
