you painted the fireplace facade white without addressing the backdraft that blackens with soot?

There is plenty of parking and such, all money will be spent on the inside and a brick/wood facade on the outside.

My knowledge extends into the construction of commercial and industrial exterior facades and waterproofing.

Essentially  currently they are a facade and I am the store.

If its a structurally sound shell,estimate 30k a floor not counting the roof, facade, basement, or yard and you'll be in the ballpark.

I can name several off the top of my head with vinyl, brick, etc. facades.

I saw lots of recent renovations, stone facades, 3 car garages, fresh paint and new siding.

The property is a 100 year old storefront that got an adaptive reuse into a mixed use property by adding two apartments in the vacant upstairs.The building got a full overhaul in the process including all new HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire sprinklers, structural repairs, ADA compliant bathrooms, and new storefront facade.

I'm not a fan of the shutter idea though, I think it would make the facade(s) to busy.

contact the historic district commission for that neighborhood. one has to exist for a historic neighborhood to be registered with the National Register. they'll provide you a packet with their bylaws, windows are usually one of the hardest things to deal with when dealing with historically accurate facades so don't be discouraged if their rules for that particular item are strict
