Renovating an Ancestral House: Preserving History While Modernizing

A Bridge Between Past and Present

Bringing an old house back to life is a rewarding challenge.

  • Consult a Heritage Architect: They can help you respect the original design.
  • Restore, Don't Replace: Repair original windows, doors, and flooring whenever possible.
  • Update Utilities Carefully: Modernize electrical and plumbing systems without damaging the house structure. This is more than a renovation; it's a restoration of history.
