Renovating Birmingham’s historic neighborhoods
Birmingham’s in-town neighborhoods were built over a century of growth: early 1900s homes in Southside and Highland Park, Craftsman bungalows and cottages in Crestwood, Forest Park and Avondale, and stately 1920s homes along the ridges of Redmont Park and Glen Iris. They have character you cannot buy new – and the plaster walls, balloon framing, old wiring and settled floors that come with it.
Our crews have opened up walls in Crestwood, rebuilt rotten chimneys and exterior trim, finished basements and turned garages into primary suites across the city. We plan every renovation around the structure that is really there: we look in the attic and crawl space before we price, we bring in the structural engineer when a load-bearing wall comes out, and we pull city permits so the work is documented when you sell.
Whole-home renovations, kitchens and additions
Most Birmingham homeowners call us for one of three things: a kitchen that finally works for the way they cook, a primary bathroom with the space and light of a new home, or a whole-home renovation that brings an older house up to date without stripping its personality. We keep original details where they matter – heart pine floors, millwork, fireplaces, windows that can be restored – and we make new work blend in so an addition looks like it was always there.
Building new in the city
Infill lots and tear-downs in established neighborhoods take a builder who knows setbacks, historic district reviews, tight access and neighbors a few feet away. We build custom homes and large additions with the same project management we bring to renovations: a detailed scope and budget before work starts, a project manager and a superintendent from start to finish, and weekly updates until the final walkthrough.
