I founded The Tower Co. as a restoration company in 1992 and have completed hundreds of projects on historic structures located in the Annapolis Historic District, the District of Columbia and the following Maryland counties: Anne Arundel, Prince George’s, Talbot, St. Mary’s and Calvert. From the Hippocratic Oath I have taken the guiding principal, “First do no harm,” and apply it to our restoration. I am passionate about following the principals of the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards of Rehabilitation.
