To Whom It May Concern:
Jeb Heaney and Heaney Construction Company restored a three-story post and beam barn on our property during the fall of 2002. The work was completed in a professional, timely manner according to the contract.
Prior to our purchase of the property, the barn fell into disrepair due to a damaged roof. This building was not cared for. The missing portions of the roof caused significant damage to the floors and beams below. We wanted the 19th century barn repaired so that the property was intact. Through the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance, we contacted Jeb. He has devoted his company to the repair and restoration of old homes and barns. His proposal included initial repair of the roof to prevent further damage to the building and tailoring the additional repairs so that as much of the original building as possible was intact. His appreciation of the historic and aesthetic value of the antique buildings he works on is apparent through his conversations and attention to detail.
Jeb met with me regularly before, during, and after the restoration was complete to discuss many aspects of the project. He spent time explaining the restoration process, determining our wants and needs for the building, and satisfaction with the work in progress. He was willing to explain both the financial and historical aspects of each decision that was made.
Without reservation, I would recommend Jeb Heaney to any person seriously interested in preserving a building. Jeb and his crew did a fantastic job, were conscious of the impact of the project on our lives, and made sure the area was cleaned once they were finished.
