Redlands is known for its old homes. Victorians and Craftsman houses line the streets south of downtown, and State Street still has brick commercial buildings from the early 1900s. The University of Redlands, the A.K. Smiley Public Library, and a large office campus on the north side round out the mix.
Work on older buildings needs a gentle touch. We build scaffold that stands on its own base as much as possible and keeps ties away from fragile trim, brick, and plaster.
Scaffold jobs we set up in Redlands
Historic homes
Scaffold for repainting, wood repair, and roof work on Victorian and Craftsman houses.
Downtown brick buildings
Facade repair, repointing, and window work on State Street and nearby blocks.
Campus buildings
Scaffold and covered walkways for exterior projects at schools and the university.
Offices and churches
Tall scaffold for steeples, gables, and high walls that a lift cannot reach.
Historic districts and old walls
Redlands has several historic districts, and work on homes inside them can need city review before exterior changes. Check with the city's planning division about your project before the scaffold goes up. The scaffold itself is temporary, but the work behind it may not be.
Old brick and lath-and-plaster walls do not take ties well. We use buttresses, wider bases, and careful tie placement to keep the load off weak spots. Mature gardens get the same care: tell us which plants matter and we will build around them.

Redlands scaffolding questions
Can you put up scaffold on a historic home without damaging it?
Yes. We keep ties off fragile trim, use a wider base or buttresses to cut down on ties, and protect the ground and plants around the house.
Do I need a permit for scaffolding in a Redlands historic district?
The scaffold itself rarely needs one on private property. The work you are doing might, especially in a historic district. Ask the city's planning division before you start.
Can you work downtown without blocking the sidewalk?
We can add a pedestrian canopy so people can walk under the scaffold. Scaffold on a public sidewalk usually needs a city encroachment permit.
