Elegant Upgrades for Victorian-Style Homes

Thanks to 350 years of domestic architecture Boston features many Victorian-style buildings. You can spot them walking the South End, Beacon Hill or Back Bay. Their octagonal or round shapes and signature "crown" style roofs create a unique and distinguished look. However, given that they were typically built in the 19th century, they often need substantial upgrading to be brought up to modern-day standards.

How we Modernize Victorian Homes

Layout & Room Remodeling

Remodeling kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces is often necessary to remove concealed rot, replace old wiring, paints and to recreate inset cabinetry, stone countertops, and bespoke fixtures with designs that echo Victorian-era typical motifs. We also help re-layout rooms to create modern master suites with more generous closet space and ensuite bathrooms.

Exterior Enhancements

Depending on their conditions, the typical castle-esque hallmark structures of Victorian buildings including turrets, detailed facades and balconies may require restorations. We also match exterior paint with traditional color palettes approved by preservation boards.

Enhancing Energy Efficiency

Improving energy performance is key when it comes to remaking historic homes. Window replacements and fitting high-performance insulation behind original walls help minimize heat loss during cold Boston winter months. We implement energy upgrades that meet the highest performance standards while preserving the visual authenticity of your home.

Managing Permits & Approvals

Every architectural and structural change in a Victorian home restoration impacts the original character of the building. Our approach is focuses on using carefully sourced materials that help preserve historical accuracy and original design features. Also many areas in the Greater Boston area have stringent zoning codes and preservation rules. We have vast experiences working with local historical commissions and planning councils to secure permits and approvals.
