Glendale Elite Home Remodeling honors the architectural heritage of this historic community while seamlessly integrating contemporary functionality and modern conveniences.

Glendale's architectural significance extends from the Renaissance Revival-style Glendale Main Post Office opened in 1934 to numerous Works Progress Administration projects including Glendale Community College's John A. Davitt Administration Building (1937) and the Glendale Civic Auditorium (1938). Our renovation expertise includes working within historical guidelines and preservation requirements while implementing modern systems that improve comfort, efficiency, and functionality without compromising architectural integrity.
The home remodeling market's growth, with expenditures expected to grow by 1.2 percent in 2025 and reaching $509 billion nationally, reflects increasing homeowner appreciation for quality craftsmanship and attention to detail – values that align perfectly with historic home renovation. In Glendale's established neighborhoods, where many homes date to the early-to-mid 20th century, strategic renovations that honor original design intent while incorporating modern amenities deliver exceptional returns on investment.
Kitchen renovations in historic homes require particular sensitivity to period-appropriate design while incorporating contemporary functionality. We create custom cabinetry that references original architectural details, select fixtures and hardware that complement the home's era, and integrate modern appliances in ways that don't compromise the historic character. Our approach ensures that kitchen improvements deliver 70-80% ROI while maintaining the authenticity that makes these homes so desirable in Glendale's competitive market.
Electrical and plumbing system upgrades represent essential improvements in older homes, particularly as families integrate smart home technology and energy-efficient appliances. We specialize in routing modern systems through existing structures with minimal disruption to historic features, using techniques that preserve original plaster, hardwood floors, and architectural millwork. Our work meets current safety codes while respecting the craftsmanship of earlier eras.
Bathroom renovations balance period authenticity with contemporary comfort and accessibility. We source vintage-inspired fixtures and materials that capture the spirit of the original design while incorporating modern conveniences like heated floors, smart lighting, and water-efficient systems. These improvements deliver average ROI of 60–70% while creating spaces that feel both timeless and thoroughly modern.
Energy efficiency improvements in historic homes require specialized approaches that enhance performance without altering character-defining features. We implement window restoration programs that preserve original sash and frame details while improving thermal performance through weatherstripping, glazing upgrades, and custom storm windows. Insulation improvements use modern materials and techniques that don't compromise wall thickness or interior details.
Climate control solutions for historic homes address the challenges of heating and cooling spaces that weren't originally designed for modern comfort expectations. Our HVAC installations use compact, efficient systems that minimize visual impact while providing effective temperature control throughout Glendale's variation in annual temperature of around 12.9 °C | 23.2 °F. Ductwork routing preserves original architectural features while ensuring proper air circulation and filtration.
Outdoor space renovations honor historic landscape design principles while incorporating contemporary functionality for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. We restore original hardscape features, preserve mature plantings that contribute to historic character, and add modern conveniences like outdoor kitchens and lighting systems that complement rather than compete with the home's architectural style. These improvements take advantage of Glendale's excellent climate with 285 sunny days per year and mild temperatures.
Structural improvements ensure that historic homes meet current safety standards while preserving their architectural integrity. Our team includes specialists in historic construction techniques who understand traditional building methods and materials. We address foundation issues, roof repairs, and seismic retrofitting using approaches that strengthen the structure while maintaining original construction details wherever possible.
