From Obsolete to Modern: How Roger England Updates Vintage Homes Nov 21, 2025

In recent years, home remodeling has taken center stage as more homeowners seek to breathe new life into outdated spaces. For those who own vintage homes, modernizing these structures can present unique challenges. At Roger England Home Remodeling, we specialize in transforming obsolete homes into modern masterpieces, without losing the charm and character that make them special.

When tackling the remodel of a vintage home, understanding the homeowner's vision and the history of the property is crucial. Each project begins with a comprehensive consultation where we discuss not only the aesthetic goals but also any structural issues that may need attention. This ensures we respect the integrity of the original design while seamlessly integrating modern upgrades. Common areas of concern in vintage homes include outdated plumbing, inefficient electrical systems, and energy-inefficient windows—issues we are well-versed in addressing.

A key element of our approach at Roger England Home Remodeling is maintaining the balance between old and new. When updating a home's interior, we emphasize the preservation of original characteristics such as hardwood floors, intricate moldings, and classic fixtures. However, we extend functionality by incorporating smart home technology, energy-efficient appliances, and open-concept layouts that cater to modern lifestyles.

One of the most popular requests we get is the kitchen remodel. Not surprisingly, kitchens in vintage homes were designed for very different times, often cramped and lacking in requisite electrical outlets for today's gadget-filled countertops. Our team redesigns these spaces to enhance flow and usability. We might integrate a kitchen island for added counter space and storage, upgrade cabinetry for both aesthetic appeal and functionality, and use modern materials that echo the style of the home's original architecture.

Bathrooms in vintage homes also pose a unique set of challenges. Space is often limited, and existing plumbing can be worrisome if upgrades were not previously made. At Roger England, we work to maximize every square foot, reimagining cramped bathrooms into luxurious retreats. Features such as glass-enclosed showers, heated flooring, and vintage-inspired tilework provide a contemporary feel while honoring the property's past.

Beyond the interior, the exterior of a vintage home is equally important. We strive to enhance curb appeal with updates that align with the home's architectural style. This can include repairing or replacing a roof with historically appropriate materials, updating windows to be energy-efficient yet stylistically consistent, and choosing paint colors that highlight the home’s unique features.

Concluding each project with customer satisfaction as our primary goal, Roger England Home Remodeling is committed to excellence and craftsmanship. Our remodels are not just about modernization; they're about creating spaces where history and contemporary living meet seamlessly, allowing homeowners to enjoy the best of both worlds.

For those looking to bring their vintage homes into the 21st century, partnering with a remodeler who understands both structural requirements and historical nuances is essential. With Roger England Home Remodeling, every project is a collaborative journey to transform your home into a haven that meets today’s standards while respecting yesterday’s charm.

By selecting our dedicated team, homeowners can rest assured that their beloved vintage homes will not only retain their unique character but will be equipped for many more years of efficient and stylish living.
