Rancho Los Cerritos On-Going Historic Restoration

Repair of the adobe walls and wood work, and replication of the original 1930s paint colors, stains and finishes.

Countless hours to remove the decades of char in the fireplace revealed a stunning herringbone pattern that was lovingly repaired and restored along with its original hand wrought iron tools.

Disassembly, rewiring and reconstruction of the original custom made 1930s chandeliers and wall sconces bring back their lovely brass lustre, hand lathed woodwork and custom made crystal chimneys.

The hardwood floors were repaired, refinished, stained to the original color and sealed for visitors to enjoy for years to come.

The ceiling's wood beams were cleaned, water damaged areas repaired, hand painted by an artist to even the wood tones that had faded over the decades and sealed for a warm lustre.

All hardware (windows, doors, locks, curtain rods) were repaired, polished, sealed and or re-plated as necessary.
