Craftsmanship for Historic Homes
Construction work here centers on preservation-grade remodeling and additions on the early-1900s homes across the area, many of them Tudor, Georgian, and Colonial estates. Projects demand careful matching of masonry, millwork, and rooflines so new work reads as original. Kitchen and bath renovations in these older houses, additions on established lots, and finished lower levels under old foundations make up much of the work the housing stock calls for.
Adapted for Lakefront Properties
The five Pointes stretch along Lake St. Clair, from The Village shopping district on Kercheval to the estates near the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House. Homes run to early-1900s Tudors, Georgians, and Colonials with brick and stone construction, slate roofs, and mature lots. The lakefront setting brings a high water table and heavy wind exposure, and this area saw some of the region's worst flooding in recent storms.
Frequently Asked Questions
What services do you offer here?
We are a full-service construction company serving the area with custom home building, home additions, kitchen remodeling, basement finishing, roofing, siding, windows, decks, pole barns, demolition, and excavating.
Can you remodel a historic home without losing its character?
That is exactly our focus here. The early-1900s homes in this area deserve careful work that matches original masonry, millwork, and detail. We modernize kitchens, baths, and systems while preserving the character, whether through a full kitchen remodeling or a sensitively designed addition.
Do lakefront homes need special basement work?
Often, yes. The high water table near Lake St. Clair and the severe flooding this area saw in recent storms mean moisture must be handled carefully. We assess the foundation and drainage before any basement finishing, making sure the lower level stays dry before we build it out.
Can you match an addition to an older estate home?
Yes. Matching rooflines, brick, and trim on Tudor, Georgian, and Colonial homes is detailed work, and it is where our experience shows on these older properties. We design each addition to read as part of the original home rather than a modern add-on, and our home additions respect the architecture throughout.
What are common projects on homes in this area?
The most common projects are high-end kitchen and bath renovations, additions on established lots, and roof and masonry work on aging estates. Slate roofs, historic windows, and older foundations all need experienced hands, and we approach each with the care these homes call for.
