Hi, I'm Leslie Fritz. Welcome to my profile!

---

Having worked as an artisan in many fields for the past 25 years, I am in the unique position of being able to use all my varied skills in one field. Our company provides historical structure reports, recommendations for restoration and design alternatives and provides the skilled and specialized labour required for work on heritage properties. And having explored all the options, we firmly believe that the use of only natural materials and a green philosophy is the correct way to proceed. Many older buildings are suffering from 20th c interventions that not only cause deterioration to the original building fabric, but also emit toxins and contribute to environmental degradation within the home and out.
