Renovation Forensics in Historic Northeast with Wade Paquin | Best of The Build Show
On Best of The Build Show, Matt and Wade dive deep into renovation forensics. Wade takes us inside a 125-year-old home that has seen six additions across more than a century. By examining framing, nails, flooring, and finishes, he pieces together the timeline of each renovation—from the original late-1800s structure to expansions in the 1940s, 1980s, and even modern updates. Along the way, Wade explains the evolution of materials and building practices, offering a rare look at how homes change and adapt through the decades. As one of the original Build Show contributors and a nationally respected craftsman, Wade brings both technical expertise and storytelling skill to uncovering the layered history of this remarkable project.
