When a client comes to us with a historic home remodel, we know we’re being entrusted with more than just a structure — we’re preserving a piece of history. Years of wear, weather, and deferred maintenance often hide a long list of challenges beneath the surface. A simple task, like opening a wall built in 1920, can quickly turn from what looks like a small water repair into a full-scale tear-down and rebuild.

At Innovative Improvements, we don’t believe in “band-aid” fixes. We honor both the integrity of the homeowner and the legacy of the home. While these properties have stood the test of time, decades of unseen decay often lie behind their charming paint and plaster. Our goal isn’t just to patch the problems — it’s to fully restore these treasured gems, blending the craftsmanship of the past with the durability and comfort of today.

It’s a demanding process, but the reward is unmatched: watching the beauty of another era emerge once again, ready to shine for generations to come.

For our Rush Street project in New Smyrna Beach, the homeowners were true partners in the journey. They embraced every challenge — even the moment when one whole side of their house stood open to the elements! Their patience and spirit made this transformation possible, and we couldn’t be prouder of the final result.
