Preserving Character. Upgrading Function. Built to Last.
At P. J. Hussey Construction, historic and character homes are part of our hometown story. We’ve worked on dozens of properties throughout Central Phoenix neighborhoods like Willo, Coronado, Encanto-Palmcroft, Medlock Place, and North Central Phoenix, giving us firsthand experience with the unique charm and challenges these homes bring.
From red brick ranch homes and historic bungalows to mid-century modern properties with original architectural details, we understand how to thoughtfully modernize these spaces while preserving the character that makes them special.
We don’t just remodel historic homes, we preserve their character while thoughtfully modernizing them for the future.

Our Historic Home Remodeling Process
Step 1: Consultation & Evaluation
We start with a free in-home consultation to evaluate your home’s condition, architectural style, preservation considerations, and remodeling goals. Our team takes time to understand what makes your home unique and how to modernize it without losing its character.
Step 2: Design & Approval Planning
Our team creates a design plan that blends modern functionality with historic integrity. We help navigate city requirements, historic district guidelines, HOA approvals, and the careful process of matching new work to the original home..
Step 3: Construction & Preservation Work
When construction begins, our team works around your life and schedule to minimize disruption while carefully executing the remodel with attention to detail. We preserve original character whenever possible while upgrading the home for modern living.

The Benefits of Remodeling Historic Homes
Historic Homes Require Creative Solutions

Raising & Rebuilding a Historic Home Foundation
In this Woodlea Historic District project, our team transformed an aging garage structure into functional living space without tearing it down, preserving the original footprint while engineering a creative foundation solution underneath the existing structure.
Preserving Unique Historic Architecture
This historic Phoenix home required more than a standard remodel. The challenge was expanding the living space while preserving the original roofline, proportions, and architectural character that made the home unique in the first place. Through thoughtful design and creative structural planning, our team transformed the home while making the addition feel like it had always been there.
