Park City’s Old Town, just over the ridge from Midway, where A1’s owner Scott Martineau lives, is full of homes with history. Some date back to the mining boom between 1872 and 1929, and the city has worked to preserve many of those older buildings. A house may have a beautifully remodeled kitchen or updated living space, but underneath those improvements could be construction that’s well over a hundred years old. If additions or major renovations have been made, it’s worth paying attention to how the newer work connects to the original house.
During a Park City home inspection, we look at accessible roof connections, changes in floor levels and visible signs of foundation repairs. Water staining near an addition, for example, might indicate a problem with roof flashing, even if the surrounding walls and ceilings look relatively new.
There’s another consideration with historic Park City homes. Depending on the property’s designation, exterior repairs or remodeling may require city review or approval. Before planning major changes, find out whether the home has historic status and what restrictions might apply. That information, along with the inspection findings, can help you get a better idea of what a renovation may involve and how much to budget for it.
