Remodeling
Historic Homes
Bring an outdated layout into the modern age
The North Shore of Boston has no shortage of historic homes. While these homes hold unbelievable charm, they were not designed for a modern lifestyle. They often feature a collection of tiny rooms, cramped kitchens, and small doorways and fixtures.
With historic home remodeling from Godfrey Design-Build, you can bring an outdated layout into the modern age while retaining the old-world charm that compelled you to buy the house in the first place.
When restoring historic homes, great care must be taken to retain their look, feel, and integrity. Our historic restoration expertise has helped clients across the North Shore create beautiful, historic homes that also feature all the conveniences of modern life.
Our designers, architects, and construction professionals bring their wealth of experience and attention-to-detail to every historic home restoration project. Our team will work with you from the very start of your historic home renovation all the way through completion. Our goal is to execute your vision to perfection.
We’ll transform your historic space into the home you’ve always wanted.
We want you to be thrilled about getting started and be an active participant in your historic home renovation. At Godfrey Design-Build, we’ll not only facilitate and coordinate your project, we’ll do it in a way that’s efficient, energizing, and enjoyable.

Renovation Process
We don’t want the home renovation project to feel overwhelming for you at any point in the process. In fact, we’re here to take away the stress and let you enjoy the fulfilling part of updating your home.
How many years of construction experience do you have? Are you a wiz at logistics and budgeting? Can you juggle dozens of tasks at once?
For years, that’s what you’d have to do if you wanted to remodel your home. Home remodeling was a giant pain in the neck.
But not anymore. We do things differently.
Godfrey Design-Build handles everything, from start to finish. One team working seamlessly without any delays, confusion, or finger-pointing. We communicate openly with you and help you feel confident about the progress of your project.
That’s design-build remodeling.
