Historic Home Renovation and Restoration in St. Louis

The neighborhoods that make up the greater St. Louis area are filled with historical homes. Architectural influences here include German, European-influenced, Victorian, and French Second Empire styles. In our more than two decades of remodeling, J.T. McDermott Remodeling Contractors has worked on a number of historic home remodels and heritage buildings. We love helping our clients bring their older homes into the present while maintaining the architectural integrity of each home’s past.

Mastering Historic Home Renovation Contractors

Our talented team considers themselves fortunate to work on these exciting modernizations. As experienced historic home renovation contractors, we use our close relationships with skilled craftsmen to master the specific arts required for historic preservation St. Louis properties rely on, including:

  • Coffered ceilings
  • Copper and other period metal work
  • Decorative plaster
  • Historical carpentry techniques
  • Old-style plaster work
  • Specialty window and glass production or refinishing
  • Tuck-pointing (cleaning out and re-mortaring brick joints)
  • Wood refinishing
  • And more
We also develop ways to integrate electrical and plumbing upgrades – as well as reclaimed materials – into each historical renovation while still maintaining the property’s period look. While these little details might not matter to some, our clients want their custom built-ins, textured walls, architectural trim, and more, to perfectly preserve the classic nature of their homes.

Old House Renovation & Modern Living

We help you breathe new life into your historical home while staying true to its authentic design. We perform meticulous old house renovation work that enhances a structure’s beauty and cultural importance. Our clients tell us they appreciate our attention to fine details when designing and building complementary additions. Our passion for period architecture, together with our knowledge, lets us reveal, recover, and restore your home’s heritage value.

Our Process for Historic Home Restoration

Just like all the design-build remodeling we do, the work we provide for historic home restoration follows a tried-and-true process that ensures a simple and enjoyable experience. The entire property is taken into consideration as we begin to design a renovation that will blend in with existing architectural parameters. When working to stay true to a home’s original style, historical renovations tend to come with certain limitations. We want you to relax, knowing that our expertise will help us meet these challenges head-on.

Even though no two historical renovations are the same, we’ve found that clear and open communication ensures every project is a success. As work progresses, we keep you continually updated and informed. To facilitate that communication, we use Buildertrend™ construction management software which provides you with real-time access to scheduling, documents, photos, change orders, homeowner selections, and more. Of course, we’re always available to speak and meet with you face-to-face.
