Historic Home Restoration

“Artisan Construction transformed our 1890s Victorian from a deteriorating structure into a stunning family home while preserving every original detail we loved. They replicated missing porch brackets, restored all our original windows instead of replacing them, and somehow hid modern HVAC without touching the plaster ceilings. The craftsmanship is extraordinary, and they guided us through the historic district approval process seamlessly. Worth every penny to have our home's history honored while gaining the functionality we needed.”

“We were initially overwhelmed by the condition of our 1820s Federal-style home, but Artisan's expertise made the restoration process manageable and even enjoyable. They discovered and restored original paint colors we didn't know existed, repaired rather than replaced our heart pine floors, and integrated a completely new kitchen that feels like it's always been there. Their patience explaining preservation principles and realistic budgeting around contingencies built trust throughout the 14-month project. Our home is now a showcase that honors its history.”

“After interviewing several contractors, Artisan was the only team that truly understood historic restoration versus just renovation. They helped us secure federal historic tax credits that made the project financially feasible and worked with specialized craftspeople to replicate our home's unique Greek Revival millwork profiles exactly. The attention to detail—matching wood grain, replicating plaster cornices, sourcing period hardware—exceeded our expectations. Living in a home with this level of authentic craftsmanship and history, now updated for modern life, is incredibly rewarding.”
