So what people have conveyed to me is based on a scale.  If a Restoration is
$1,000.00, then a Preservation must be $2,000.00, and a Conservation has to
be $5,000.00, while a remodel is about a $1.00.  Even though we try to use
the "right" term in the right situation, people are more comfortable certain
words.  We get a lot of, "Historic Preservation?  Sounds Expensive."  And I
say "Yes, it does cost more to do it right".
