Lafayette Hill Home Types
Lafayette Hill's Colonial and traditional homes have formal proportions and established character. Fred designs renovations — particularly kitchens and custom woodworking — that extend and honor that character rather than working against it.
The mid-century homes in Lafayette Hill are solid houses with good bones that benefit enormously from considered custom woodworking and lighting design. Fred's built-in cabinetry and lighting work adds the deliberate detail these homes were built to eventually have.
Even newer Lafayette Hill homes benefit from Fred's custom woodworking — built-in bookcases, mudroom cabinetry, custom kitchen islands, and millwork that makes newer construction feel finished and permanent.

A century-old Gothic arch double door in a Wyndmoor stone home. The original carved oak tracery header — cusped ogee arches, lancet moldings, foliate rosette — was beyond repair. It couldn't be sourced anywhere. Fred hand-carved a replacement in matching white oak, profile for profile, to match the original.
