What Historic Means in Brighton

• Designated or just old. A landmark or a home in a historic district in Brighton carries design review on exterior changes. An old home outside a district carries none. The listing does not always say; we check.
• Tax credits. Colorado's state historic preservation tax credit pays 20 to 35 percent of qualified rehab costs on designated homes. It is real money for the right project.
• The systems. Wiring, plumbing, sewer line, roof and foundation are the five items that decide the real price of a historic home. We inspect all five.
• Windows and insulation. Original windows are protected in most districts. Storm windows and attic insulation are how a historic Brighton home gets a modern utility bill.
• Insurance. Some carriers price old wiring and plumbing high or decline. We get the insurance quote during inspection, not after.
