   restoration work, including premium pricing for skilled labor and authentic materials.

6. **Client Education**: Help clients understand the value and challenges of historic
   preservation, educate them about their property's significance, and guide decision-making
   throughout the restoration process.

7. **Quality Assurance**: Ensure restoration work meets preservation standards, maintains
