Faison Preservation Society has contracted Precision Levelling LLC of La Grange to repair and improve the foundation piers and beams of Faison House at 822 Jefferson St. – historic home of Nathaniel Faison located across from the Fayette Public Library. Their expert skills have secured the stability of our historic home, allowing it to last for years to come. Next the society brought in Orkin to control the pests who moved in.

The wall coverings became damaged over time by structural movement, moisture and those invading pests.
