​I have worked with Rebecca and Ellen at Ethos Preservation since their shop opened in 2019, and they have consistently delivered exceptional results on every service I’ve engaged them for. Their expertise has been integral to three historic tax credit projects I’ve developed in Savannah, including two that received Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation Awards for Rehabilitation and one honored with an Excellence in Rehabilitation Award from the Savannah Foundation. Ethos Preservation has expertly guided our projects through the complex process of securing Federal and Georgia historic tax credits, ensuring compliance while meeting our timelines. They collaborate seamlessly with our architect and general contractor to create renovation plans that balance our needs with the historical integrity of each property. Rebecca, Ellen, and their team are a pleasure to work with, bringing professionalism, honesty, and unmatched dedication to every project. Ethos Preservation has earned a stellar reputation, and I wholeheartedly give them my highest recommendation.

Ethos Preservation has been wonderful to work with. We first reached out to Ethos to develop Residential Design Guidelines for the City of Thomson’s locally designated historic district. We quickly found out that they were easy to work with, accommodating, and reasonably priced. Since our first project, we have also contracted with their firm to develop a Master Plan for the revolutionary era Rock House, nomination to expand our National Register listed commercial historic district, and other grant writing projects. I would definitely recommend consulting with their firm for any historic preservation project!

Hiring Ethos has been the best thing that our non-profit organization could have done. It is a consulting firm that has proven itself to be dedicated, knowledgeable, dependable, and professional... Ethos Preservation firm is highly familiar with the many agencies involved with historic preservation on both state and federal levels. Its knowledge concerning preservation standards and guidelines, and the importance of preserving history is outstanding... It is an excellent firm whose practices truly promote professionalism as a public historian.

The Ethos Team has been a phenomenal partner for the City of Thomaston Historic Preservation Commission. Tasked with providing an update to the Downtown Thomaston Design Guidelines that were established in 1998, Ethos was professional, responsive, and considerate of all questions and concerns of the board. This updated document will help shape the future of Downtown Thomaston for years to come.
