Down-to-the-studs transformations that bring an older home up to how you actually live today — without losing what made it worth keeping.
Old houses do not scare us. We have opened enough walls to know what is waiting in there — and what to do about it.
A whole-home renovation is equal parts surgery and construction. Done right, it starts with knowing what is behind the plaster: the framing habits of the decade it was built, the wiring that has been “upgraded” three times, the sills that have been wet since the Reagan administration. We price what we find honestly and fix it once.
We reorganize floor plans, open up kitchens, add bathrooms where the house never thought it needed them, and bring the systems — electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation — up to today. The goal is a house that works like new and still feels like itself.
No à la carte corner-cutting. These are part of the work, not upsells.
A real look at the structure, systems, and what your budget should brace for — before you commit.
Sills, framing corrections, beams, and load paths — the bones fixed right, not boxed over.
Electrical, plumbing, heating, and insulation brought up to code and up to the way you live.
Walls moved, kitchens opened, baths added — layouts that match this decade, not 1962.
Trim, built-ins, and detail work that respects the character of the original house.
A standing report on schedule, budget, and discoveries — because old houses always have a few.
We go through it together — attic to basement — and talk honestly about what the house needs versus what it wants.
A fixed scope with line-item pricing, allowances stated plainly, and contingency for what walls hide.
A clean, phased job site, weekly updates, and a final walkthrough with every punch item closed.
Book a consultation. We’ll look at the site or the house, talk budget and timeline honestly, and tell you whether we’re the right builder for it.
