Explore Our Recent Projects to Spark Your Imagination
Creating a vision for your home remodeling project is one of the most exciting parts of the process. Your canvas is completely blank, and you’re the only one who gets to decide how to fill it in. However, you may find that you need some inspiration to help create your vision.
Our historic home renovation contractors focus on enhancing the historic character of homes from the 1940s and older, while also delivering design elements that are useful and appealing for homeowners today. Whether you’re interested in a single room remodel, an exterior remodel, or a whole-home remodel, a tour of our portfolio might be your springboard to the home you’ve always wanted.
Expanding Your Primary Suite
Older homes aren’t always designed for today’s needs. This is especially true for historic homes’ primary bedrooms, which tend to be smaller and less functional than what many homeowners want today.
A historic home renovation contractor near you, like Architectural Craftsmen, can find ways to alter your primary bedroom’s floor plan to create more living space. Consider this primary suite remodel that added a walk-in closet, laundry, and a bathroom with luxury features without diminishing the home’s Arts and Crafts style.
Focusing On the Kitchen For Your Historic Home Renovation
Much like the primary suite, homeowners find that their historic home’s kitchen isn’t equipped for entertaining or for modern kitchen functionality. Kitchens require a high level of design expertise to ensure they offer day-to-day functionality, opportunities for gathering and serving guests, and stunning visuals for this central part of the home.

Finding Opportunities For Entertaining and Dining
Starting with a kitchen expansion is an excellent way to make space for larger gatherings. Architectural designers can find ways to create room off an enlarged kitchen for seamless movement between spaces, even in homes that weren’t initially designed with this in mind.
Explore this 1890s remodel where we found ample, functional space for the kitchen after removing a back staircase. We also moved the existing galley kitchen to provide more space in the dining room, freeing us up to include a dry bar, customized and period-appropriate cabinetry and woodwork, and even a stylish window seat.
Distinctive Bathroom Remodels
Bathrooms in historic homes have significant potential because they require fittings, fixtures, and accessories that can augment their period style. Homeowners also have preferences that can turn bathrooms into customized retreats from daily life.
A historic home renovation contractor strikes whatever balance best suits your home and your everyday needs, along with creative flourishes that enhance your home’s historic character.

Renovating Your Home’s Historic Exterior
You can remodel your historic home’s exterior with the help of an expert architectural design team. When you select a team who knows how to refurbish or replace exterior features that match the home’s original architecture, your home becomes new again, while retaining its historic character. Whether you hope to benefit from renovating your home’s porch, roofing, facade, gables, or any other feature, a company with specialized design experience can handle the job.

Make Your Historic Home Renovation Your Own
Spending time with an old home remodeler’s portfolio helps lay the foundation for your own vision, so you can ultimately live in a home that makes you happy. However, you don’t need to realize this vision on your own.
Working with a historic home renovation contractor provides an opportunity to collaborate on your design. If you don’t know where to start, your contractor can offer creative suggestions that may be exactly what you were looking for, but couldn’t put into words.
