Historic Renovation

Historic Renovation At Doug Pruett Construction Co., Inc., we specialize in historic renovation services that preserve the craftsmanship of the past while making buildings functional for today. As an experienced historic renovation contractor, we understand that restoring older properties requires more than construction expertise demands respect for history, attention to detail, and the ability to balance preservation with modernization.

For decades, we have partnered with homeowners, businesses, and organizations to complete historic home restoration and commercial renovations that honor the original architecture while extending the life and value of each property.

Historic renovation is the process of restoring and upgrading older buildings while preserving their character, materials, and architectural details. Unlike standard remodeling, historic renovation requires a deep understanding of original construction techniques and careful planning to preserve historic buildings without sacrificing safety or modern comfort.

From Victorian homes and Colonial-era buildings to churches and historic storefronts, our goal is to protect the unique story behind each property while giving it the updates needed to thrive for generations to come.

Why Choose Historic Home Restoration?

Owning a historic property is both a privilege and a responsibility. By investing in historic home restoration, you gain benefits that go far beyond aesthetics:

  • Preserve History: Protect unique architecture and craftsmanship that cannot be replicated today.

  • Boost Property Value: Restored historic homes and buildings often gain long-term market appeal and higher resale value.

  • Modern Comfort & Safety: Behind the walls, we update electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and insulation to meet modern standards.

  • Community Revitalization: Preserving historic buildings enhances neighborhoods and supports cultural heritage.
