I would like to thank Stephen and his crew for the amazing work they did remodeling my outdated kitchen (last two pictures). I took my time comparing other contractors prior to the start of the remodel, but Stephen stood out with his professionalism, attention to detail, and fair pricing. He helped us choose the right materials and even provided a 3D model to give us a clear idea of how the final kitchen would look. His contract was very well structured, with everything clearly listed, there were no hidden fees or surprises at the end of the project. His communication was excellent throughout the entire process. They handled everything you see in the photos, removing the bulkhead, adding a dishwasher, new flooring, painting, backsplash tile, garbage disposal, under-cabinet lighting, installing new lights, laying a new water line for the fridge’s water dispenser, and installing all the appliances. What stood out most to me was that Stephen made sure everything was up to his own high standards. If something wasn’t quite there, he made sure it got corrected, which really shows how much he cares about the quality of his work, and I really appreciate that kind of attention to detail. I’m so glad I went with Renewed Homes Construction after taking the time to compare others. If I have more projects in the future, I’ll definitely work with them again. 10/10, highly recommend!

Expert Historic Home Renovation in Fox Chapel, PA
Historic home renovation in Fox Chapel means working with homes that were built to last, not built to be replaced. Most houses in the borough date from the 1930s through the 1980s, with architectural styles that include Colonial Revival, Tudor, and French Country estates on large wooded lots. These homes carry original details worth keeping: slate roofs, custom millwork, plaster walls, grand entryways, and built-ins that cannot be sourced off a shelf. Pittsburgh Home Renovations approaches each project by identifying which original features stay, which get restored, and where modern systems need to be integrated cleanly. That means full-gut kitchens that match the home's proportions, additions that read as original, and updated electrical, plumbing, and HVAC that do not compromise the character of the space. Fox Chapel Borough has strict zoning guidelines that shape what exterior work is possible, so every scope is planned with that in mind. If you own a historic Fox Chapel estate and want it to work better without losing what makes it worth keeping, call us to talk through your project.
