Whole House Renovation Project Restoring Old Homes

Featured Project: Historic Charm + Modern Convenience in Peachtree Hills

Restoring old homes is one of our favorite client requests, because it presents the exciting challenge of blending old and new seamlessly. Historic homes are typically built well, with unique materials like wood from old-growth forests that simply can’t be found today. An older house often boats craftsmanship and details that make it feel immediately warm and welcoming. Have you ever dreamed of restoring an older house to its former glory? One of our favorite clients, a serial remodeler who enjoys saving unique homes, is doing just that!

This featured project, a whole house renovation in the Peachtree Hills neighborhood, is undergoing an exciting transformation. Our client had purchased a 1920’s craftsman home with beautiful touches and lots of potential – and lots of work to be done! After investigating the home’s condition and working with the owner to create a design plan and schematics, Home ReBuilders got to work. Here are just some of the projects we’ve taken on so far:

– Gutting most of the home’s interior

– Updating the kitchen and bathrooms – including new cabinets, appliances, finishes, and fixtures

– Finishing the basement, which may someday be converted into a guest or au pair suite

– Rebuilding old windows and replicating others to maintain the integrity of the home’s character

– Maintaining the old siding, filling in gaps where needed with new yellow pine wood.

– Restoring the garage and adding durable, new siding that will match the look and feel of the original siding

– Refinishing the home’s original heart pine floors

– Updating the existing structure of the home to today’s standards, utilizing the original strong, resin-cured woods

– …and more! This is a current project, and we can’t wait to share the end result with you when the job is complete.

When this home is finished, it will have the charm and character of a 100-year-old home with all the comforts of today’s living. Home ReBuilders’ team truly enjoys the chance to help maintain a neighborhood’s historic feel while creating a space that generations to come will enjoy.

If you’re like us, you might feel a pang of excited nostalgia when you drive past an old Victorian or 1920’s bungalow in need of care. If the thought of taking on a fixer upper appeals to you, Home ReBuilders is ready to help!
