Travis Heights homeowners know character when they see it – these houses have stories, quirks, and bones that just don’t exist in newer neighborhoods. We’ve spent the last decade working on homes here, from tiny bungalows to sprawling estates overlooking the lake. Finding reliable home remodelers who understand historic properties isn’t easy, but we’ve made it our specialty. We respect the original craftsmanship while updating everything for modern living. Your 1920s charmer deserves contractors who won’t rip out the good stuff just because it’s old.
Updating a vintage kitchen takes finesse – you can’t just slap IKEA cabinets in a 100-year-old house and call it good. Prime Construction & Remodeling has figured out how to blend period-appropriate details with appliances that actually work for busy families. We’ve installed farmhouse sinks in houses that predate electricity and built custom cabinets that match original millwork. These old kitchens often have weird layouts and low ceilings, but we know how to work with what’s there instead of fighting against it. Your updated kitchen will feel like it belongs in your house, not like someone dropped it in from another era.
Bathroom Updates That Respect Original Architecture
Old bathrooms in Travis Heights come with challenges – cast iron tubs that weigh 500 pounds, plumbing that runs through solid limestone, and doorways barely wide enough for a modern vanity. We’ve learned which original features are worth saving and which ones need to go. Most of these houses have one tiny bathroom that somehow needs to serve an entire family. We can usually steal space from hallways or closets to create bathrooms that actually function while keeping the character details that make your house special.
Whole House Renovations and Additions
Some Travis Heights houses need everything redone – foundation work, rewiring, replumbing, and HVAC systems that can actually cool more than one room. We handle full renovations on houses from the 1890s to the 1950s, each with their own quirks and surprises. Adding onto historic homes requires permits, neighbor approval, and contractors who understand how old foundations settle and expand. We’ve added second stories and rear additions and converted attics into usable space while maintaining the street view that makes this neighborhood special.
Exterior Restoration and Improvements
Your house’s curb appeal matters in a neighborhood where people walk their dogs and actually know their neighbors. We restore original siding, rebuild sagging porches, and update paint colors that complement the home’s era without looking like a museum piece. Window replacement in historic homes needs special attention – you want energy efficiency without losing the proportions and details that make these houses beautiful. We know which exterior improvements add value and which ones the historic district will actually approve.
