General Contractor in Palmyra, NY
Project management, permits and historic home work in Palmyra, run by an owner-operated crew with our own carpenters.
Respect for the old house
Many homes near Main Street have 1800s brickwork, timber framing and fieldstone foundations. You can’t treat them like a new build.
Our crew knows how old materials settle and how they react to modern insulation and wiring. We shore up sagging joists, undo old amateur repairs and match trim profiles so the character stays.
- Custom millwork matched to original trim
- Joists and framing reinforced properly
- Egress, insulation and panel upgrades to code
Decisions that keep a job moving
Know your budget ceiling
Older homes always hide something behind the lath and plaster. Decide what you’re willing to spend and where you draw the line on structural upgrades.
Pick materials early
Waiting on tile or vanity choices mid-project stalls the job and costs you money. We help you make selections before demo.
What drives cost in Palmyra
Old framing is rarely plumb or square, and rot, asbestos or knob-and-tube wiring need specialized work. Custom millwork to match historic trim costs more than box-store stock.
We break all of that down in the estimate so you know where the money goes.
Weather and winter work
Freeze-thaw cycles are hard on roofs, foundations and siding. When we open an exterior wall, we weatherproof right away. Inside, we use dust barriers and temporary heat so mud and paint cure right.
Sequenced. Supervised.

Old-house answers
Do I need a permit to remodel my historic Palmyra home?
Most structural, electrical and plumbing work does. We pull the permits, handle code compliance and schedule inspections.
How do you handle hidden damage in 1800s brick and stone houses?
Once walls are open, we assess right away, document it and give you clear repair options and a revised scope before any more carpentry.
Can you match the historic trim on Main Street homes?
Yes. We measure your existing mouldings and trim profiles and fabricate or source matches that keep the original character.
Will I have one point of contact?
Yes. You talk directly to the person running the job, not an off-site manager.
How long will my renovation take?
It depends on scope, material lead times and what we find in the walls. We lay out the order of work before we start and keep you updated.
