At Shermer Construction, we understand the unique essence of historic homes. These buildings are not just brick and mortar; they are repositories of stories and epochs. Our approach to revamping these historical treasures begins with a thorough understanding of the property. We conduct in-depth assessments to ensure that our strategies maintain the structural integrity and aesthetic qualities that define the essence of a historic home.
Once the assessment is complete, our dedicated team collaborates closely with homeowners to create a remodeling plan that aligns with both preservation guidelines and modern living standards. Our designs are intentional, ensuring that every change made enhances both the form and functionality of the home. By incorporating energy-efficient solutions and up-to-date amenities, we help homeowners enjoy the charm of their old-world home with the perks of modern technology.
Preserving historical details is a top priority for Shermer Construction. We meticulously restore original features, from ornate cornices and vintage moldings to stained glass windows and antique flooring. Every element is treated with care, employing traditional craftsmanship techniques that ensure longevity and authenticity. Our expert artisans are skilled in replicating historical elements when restoration is not possible, marrying original materials with new ones seamlessly.
Bringing modern comfort into historic homes involves more than just cosmetic changes. A significant aspect of our renovation projects is upgrading the home's infrastructure. We modernize electrical systems, plumbing, and HVAC, ensuring that residents experience the comforts of a modern home while retaining the charm of a heritage property. This approach maximizes efficiency and safety, future-proofing these homes for generations to come.
Energy efficiency is another critical consideration during our remodels. We integrate advanced insulation materials and retrofitted windows that improve energy savings without compromising the home’s character. Underfloor radiant heating and smart home systems are discreetly installed to improve comfort and functionality while maintaining the visual aesthetics of the original design.
Moreover, Shermer Construction is dedicated to sustainable building practices. We use environmentally friendly materials and techniques, minimizing waste and carbon footprints. Our commitment to green construction not only contributes to environmental conservation but also enhances the longevity and value of historic properties.
