Historic Renovation Services in Mac-Groveland

Mac-Groveland homes were built to last—and to stand out. But after a century of Minnesota winters, even the best-built homes need care. We offer full-service renovations that respect your home’s architectural heritage while solving today’s challenges.

Our renovation services include:

• Plaster and drywall restoration

• Interior and exterior painting using historically inspired palettes

• Custom trim and millwork to match original details

We restore—not replace—whenever possible, because we believe original details add value and soul to your home.

Renovating with Respect for Original Architecture

Every renovation starts with understanding your home’s unique style. Whether you're working with a 1920s Tudor, a 1910s Craftsman, or a 1940s Colonial, we approach each project with an eye for period accuracy and quality craftsmanship. Our team works closely with you to ensure updates feel natural—not like afterthoughts.

Want to update a bathroom without clashing with your 1930s tile? Need a kitchen that respects your home's original layout but functions for modern life? We can help!
