Remodeling Services in Kenilworth
Everything we do for homes in Kenilworth, from one room to the whole house.
Home Remodeling in Kenilworth
Kenilworth was founded by Joseph Sears as a planned village, and many of its homes are large, older and architect-designed. We update what is inside the walls, like old wiring and pipes, and finish basements after checking ceiling height and signs of water.
Our home remodeling services →Bathroom Remodeling in Kenilworth
Second-floor baths in Kenilworth Tudors sit under steep roofs and sloped ceilings, so the layout takes care. We remodel them with new tile, plumbing, showers and vanities, and repair or replace plaster walls to match the rest of the house.
Our bathroom remodeling services →Kitchen Remodeling in Kenilworth
In a George W. Maher Prairie-style home or a Kenilworth Colonial, a new kitchen should suit the age of the house. We fit new cabinets, appliances and lighting while keeping original trim and windows, and homes near Green Bay Road often redo the mudroom at the same time.
Our kitchen remodeling services →General Contracting in Kenilworth
Larger homes near Kenilworth Beach and Sheridan Road often get whole-floor updates that move walls, plumbing and wiring. We file the Village of Kenilworth permit, plan beams for load-bearing walls, and build porches, decks and additions that follow the original lines of the house.
Our general contracting services →Flooring in Kenilworth
Century-old Kenilworth homes often have original wood floors next to trim and built-ins that should stay. We refinish and repair hardwood, protect floors and woodwork every day of the job, and use moisture-safe LVP or tile in older basements that can be damp.

Plans That Fit Kenilworth Home Styles
- Prairie-style homes: wide eaves, wood trim and built-ins. New work should match the original lines.
- Tudors: plaster walls, arches and steep roofs. Upstairs baths need careful layout under sloped ceilings.
- Colonials: center halls and separate rooms. A kitchen opened to the family room is a common change.
- Basements: older basements can be low and damp. We check both before planning a finished room.
Keeping the Character of Older Homes
Many Kenilworth homes are over 100 years old and were designed by architects. A good remodel updates what is inside the walls and keeps what makes the house special.
- We keep or match original trim, doors and built-ins
- We replace old wiring and pipes while the walls are open
- Plaster walls are repaired or replaced with care
- New kitchens and baths are designed to suit the age of the house
