Historic Home Renovations for the Cold Season
When the snow starts falling in Minneapolis and outdoor construction slows to a crawl, it’s easy to assume that all home projects have to wait until spring. But for us at New Leaf Restorations, winter is the perfect time to shift focus indoors—and give your historic home the attention it deserves.
Whether you're dealing with hidden damage or dreaming up a fresh new kitchen, winter offers the calm, the time, and the opportunity to make it happen.
Why Now? Winter is Prime Time for Interior Work
Unlike spring and summer, when exterior projects take up most of our schedule, winter opens up availability for interior remodeling. That means faster timelines, more flexible scheduling, and fewer disruptions. Plus, you get to enjoy your refreshed space just in time for the warmer seasons ahead.
What Should You Tackle This Winter?
Historic homes—especially here in the Twin Cities—often show their quirks in the cold. You might notice drafts, foggy windows, peeling paint, or the mysterious return of that musty smell in the basement. These are more than annoyances—they're signs your home is asking for help.
Here’s what we specialize in during the winter months:
Window and door replacements to stop drafts and improve efficiency
Rot and mold repair in hidden areas like basements or behind walls
Custom trim and millwork upgrades to match your home’s era
Interior plaster repair and fresh painting
Full kitchen and bathroom remodels that bring modern function to vintage charm
Fast Turnaround. Beautiful Results.
Winter is also the quiet season for many subcontractors and suppliers, which can translate into better availability, quicker permit approvals, and speedier deliveries for materials.
This means your remodel doesn’t have to drag on for months—you can get your home restored, refreshed, and ready for spring without the wait.
