Solanna restored 360 linear feet of rotted logs on an Okemo Mountain estate in Vermont.

Before and after images of a log cabin exterior renovation, showing the replacement of damaged logs and clean new logs taped on the lower windows.

One of several completed projects across Vermont, New York, New Hampshire, and Maine.

We began in the logs.

Three hundred and sixty linear feet of rotted sill logs on an Okemo Mountain estate. Chinking, structural replacement, white cedar half-log facades — rebuilt to what the Northeast climate actually demands.

That work taught us what most of this region's finest houses have in common: they are built of wood, they are old, and they are quietly failing in ways nobody sees until the failure is expensive.

The estates that need that work need everything around it.

Roof, windows, kitchen, systems, grounds — under one accountable field relationship, at the same standard we brought to the logs.

Solanna serves distinguished estates across the four Northeast states we know: Vermont, New York, New Hampshire, and Maine.

From mountain properties and historic villages to lake estates and the Maine coast.

The walk is where it starts.

Before drawings, estimates or recommendations, we walk the property with you.

What should be preserved? What no longer serves the estate? What has been quietly deteriorating? What have you always imagined it becoming?
