Remodeling & Restoration in The Highlands, DE

The Highlands holds some of Wilmington's most substantial older houses: stone and brick, slate or tile roofs, leaded glass, deep millwork profiles and floor plans built for a different era of household. Remodeling here is as much preservation as it is construction.

The work we're called for is usually kitchens and primary bathrooms brought into this century without stripping the house of its character, plus systems that have been patched for decades — knob-and-tube remnants, undersized panels, steam and hot-water heating, and roofs where slate repair versus replacement is a real financial decision.

These projects need trades who can match a profile rather than order one. We mill trim to match existing runs, source period-appropriate tile and hardware, and phase work so a large house doesn't become uninhabitable for a year.
