Honor Your Home’s Past, Build Its Future

Every historic home tells a story, and preserving that story is the pinnacle of the renovation process. Homeowners often face a challenge in deciding how to respect a home's heritage without compromising on comfort, safety and style. At ReModern Builders, this is where philosophy meets practice. We view each project as an act of stewardship, treating the property as both a residence and a cultural artifact that deserves care and reverence.

Maintaining architectural integrity means more than repairing what exists — it requires a deep understanding of traditional design and building methods. From carefully replicating period details to sourcing authentic materials, ReModern Builders ensures that the original character remains untouched. At the same time, we carefully weave in modern conveniences, such as energy-efficient systems, refined lighting and smart-home features that remain discreet yet transformative. 

Most importantly, ReModern Builders, LLC, works in close partnership with homeowners, ensuring the renovation reflects the property's legacy and the client's personal vision. The result is a home that honors its past while embracing its future.

A Modern Addition for Your Historic Home

Adding space to a historic property is one of the most complex architectural challenges a homeowner can undertake. Done carelessly, a modern addition can overshadow or dilute the original character of the home. Done masterfully, however, it enhances beauty and livability. ReModern Builders has refined this art, designing modern home additions for historic homes that create seamless transitions between old and new. Our process is as follows:

  • Initial consultation: A first meeting to discuss your vision and project goals.

  • On-site meeting: Evaluating the property to assess the project's feasibility and potential challenges.

  • Preliminary budget study: Creating an initial cost estimate to align with your budget.

  • Design development agreement: Formalizing the design plans and scope of work.

  • Preconstruction: Preparing all necessary permits and logistics before starting construction.

  • Construction: The actual building phase that brings the design to life.
