Problem-Solving for Old Buildings

The City of Saginaw Master Plan identifies blight as the main concern of city residents. Most blighted buildings are old and abandoned, leading to crime and lower property values. Many buildings are publicly owned and need investment. Re: Saginaw Community Development helps each building individually, removing obstacles for development.

Window Restoration

The Broken Window Theory has influenced decisions for years, but recent studies found little evidence connecting broken windows to crime. The problem of broken windows can be solved swiftly and inexpensively. Home demolitions cost over $20,000 on average, but a single glass pane replacement costs less than $100.

Honoring History;
Thinking Ahead

We have a skilled team experienced in restoring properties and writing studies for historic districts. We do not intend to freeze these buildings in time, we want them to be useful and available to today’s organizations and residents that need them most.

Architectural Salvage & Deconstruction

While we are fully committed to exploring every possible option to save a building, demolition can sometimes be the only choice. Even in this outcome, we offer solutions that can make the best of the situation and bring building materials back into circulation. The salvage of architectural features like doors, hardware, woodwork, and old growth building materials allows for a second life, repurposed in other buildings.
