There are several great articles and technical guides that can help you make informed decisions about maintaining and retrofitting your heritage building.

Please note that all the sources below are suggestions only. Be wary of any article or resource that encourages removal or alteration of character elements such as windows, wood-burning fireplaces, or ventilation systems without discussing options for improvement with retention. Every building is different and any project may require the expert advice of a hired professional. Exercise caution when taking on any maintenance tasks including proper safety equipment and appropriate tools. VHF also recommends always obtaining appropriate permits for any work on your building or home.
