Old Home Remodels
Refresh delivers high-quality renovations for character homes, bungalows, heritage-houses and more, tailored to your needs and budget.
Contact UsGet free renovation guideWith properties dating back to the 1600s, US domestic architecture covers a vast range of residential styles, with many well over one or two centuries old. As you can imagine, renovating old houses comes with its fair share of challenges. Building regulations were non-existent, materials differed from those used in modern-day construction, and layouts have greatly changed. In many cases, it’s hard to discern which aspects to preserve and which ones to modernize. But, with the assistance of an expert’s trained eye, the renovation process can become both manageable and enjoyable.
From Colonials and Georgian to Art Deco, Chicago School and American Craftsman, each old home remodel opens up a significant range of possibilities. The hardest part will be deciding whether you want to enhance the traditional aspects or transform them completely, but that’s the beauty of renovating an old house!
We’ve completed thousands of successful projects and have no shortage of renovation ideas for old homes. Sometimes the experienced eye of a professional is all you need to get inspired.
How does Refresh help?
The challenges presented by a traditional home renovation can feel overwhelming given the range of issues that invariably arise with old homes. There’s a lot to consider such as asbestos and lead paint, strict regulations for heritage home renovations, structural issues, and retrofitting technology more suited to modern-day living. But when working with Refresh, we’ve got you covered.
Our 5-step method streamlines the process. You’ll have access to our extended network of industry experts and remodeling professionals, but a Remodeling Consultant will always be your single point of contact. This approach limits opportunities for miscommunication while maximizing collective knowledge for the best possible outcome.

A smoother renovation process
Your old or character home renovation will run smoothly thanks to our proven 5-step process, designed to keep your project on time and within budget.
Step 1
Briefing / Initial Consultation
Every renovation with Refresh begins with an in-depth consultation so we can get off on the right foot. Budget considerations, timeline, and design goals are the main targets but you can ask anything; no detail is too small nor idea too big!
Step 2
Concept and Feasibility
After moving through your consultation and refining your project, concept designs will be arranged by your Renovation Consultant who will illustrate your ideas and determine the feasibility. Being able to see realistic renderings of your home area presents a great opportunity to make design changes.
Step 3
Working Drawings and Costing
The final steps of the planning portion are working drawings and the cost estimate. Developing working drawings entails the technical and logistical factors required to make your old home area a reality. Your Renovation Consultant will provide you with an estimate for the scope of work discussed at this point. Once you accept the plans and quote, you’re still welcome to make alterations, but they may incur additional charges.
Step 4
Build / Construction Stage
Now your new space begins to take shape! Your Renovation Consultant will continue to provide you with excellent support during the construction phase, coordinating everything from big tasks to small details so you can enjoy minimal disruptions. If any issues arise, they’ll be dealt with swiftly and always communicated to you clearly.
Step 5
Your Finished Renovation
Before you can throw your first load in the washer, your Renovation Consultant will ensure they’ve provided you with the appropriate documentation such as Code of Compliance certificates.
