What We Did
Margray had the cascade of problems that follows water: damaged interior finishes, failing gutters and downspouts, and rooms that needed rebuilding.
Water damage is never one problem. It starts at a failed gutter or a bad window seal, then works inward through walls, closets, and floors until every room it touched needs attention. The crew corrected the source first, new gutters and downspouts to move water off the house, and new windows to seal the openings, because rebuilding interior rooms before fixing the drainage is just scheduling the same repair twice.
With the house dry, the interior work followed. The water-damaged rooms were rebuilt and refinished, the damaged closet was reframed and rebuilt, and the photographs show the result: fresh walls, new trim, new plank flooring, and a bright bedroom with a new window where the damage had been. The electrical was brought up to standard as part of the same pass, with new boxes and a new exterior flood light.
None of this scope is exotic, and that is rather the point. Most of the vacant and distressed houses in our region do not need architecture; they need drainage, envelope, and honest interior repair, done in the right order by people who know which problem caused which. Margray is what that looks like: a house that water was slowly taking apart, put back in working order room by room, and made ready for a family at or near the cost of the work itself.
