Rehab Right - Design Assistance#

Have work to do on your historic building but not sure where to start? The Rehab Right Design Assistance Program is here to help! Design Assistance provides support for design and planning costs associated with historic building projects. Some examples include:

  • evaluating your historic windows for weatherization upgrades and repairs.
  • determining appropriate new mortar mixtures to repoint your historic masonry.
  • determining if an addition or exterior modification to your property is feasible and will meet historic design requirements. 

City Council created the Design Assistance Program (DAP) in 2011 as a way to help owners of historic property and property in historic areas minimize the effects of additions, alterations, and new construction on the overall historic character of Fort Collins.
