Resources

The Grand Forks Historic Preservation Commission does not maintain a list of local contractors or craft specialists since we are not able to monitor, provide quality assurance or endorse any businesses. We do, however, provide a list of resources and best practices for homeowners wishing to make restoration work to their homes.
