What Makes Historic Home Renovation Different from a Standard Remodel

Unlike standard remodels, historic homes often fall under local, state, or federal preservation laws that may limit certain cosmetic or structural changes. Because of these requirements, historic renovations require more than just permits—they need a team that not only understands the process and can navigate historical commission approvals and design reviews, but also strives to preserve the history and character of your home.

Local Historic Society – to ensure all work is legal and aligns with local, state, and federal standards.

They are a complete one-stop-shop from design to final cleaning. We had them do demo, electrical, plumbing, drywall, painting, carpentry, cabinets, countertops, tile, flooring, and design. There was some extra delay in the middle of our work with some employee turnover, but that only delayed us about a month. They are professional, reasonable, and very easy to work with. We highly recommend them, and in fact already have to a couple of our friends.”
