Historic Rehabilitaion Services

Preserving the Architectural Heritage of St. Louis with Unmatched Craftsmanship.

At Drake Carpentry Inc. & Gianino Welsh Corporation, we specialize in historic rehabilitation because preserving the craftsmanship and character of older buildings is both a passion and a responsibility. Our philosophy is to seamlessly integrate modern building science with historical integrity, ensuring that each project meets today’s standards for safety and efficiency without compromising its original charm. In the Murphy and St. Louis area, we carefully assess the unique challenges of aging structures—such as outdated materials and foundational issues—using customized solutions that honor the building’s heritage while enhancing its durability and functionality.
