Your home has a story worth protecting. Whether you’re preserving original character, improving function, or doing both, we design with intention and build with integrity. We help homeowners in historic neighborhoods like Clintonville, Bexley, Grandview, and Upper Arlington preserve the architecture of their homes while renovating the space to modern demands.
“THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL WAS OBVIOUS FROM DAY ONE.”
Columbus is full of homes with soul: craftsman bungalows, early 1900s foursquares, brick colonials, and Victorian-era details you simply can’t replicate with modern shortcuts. At PSR, we love helping Columbus homeowners renovate their historic homes, without losing their original charm. In fact, Pat Scales Remodeling was awarded 2025 Remodeler of The Year for Residential Historical Restoration Under $250,000, from The National Association of The Remodeling Industry (NARI) of Central Ohio!

Our Restoration Philosophy For Older Homes
A historic renovation is your chance to keep what makes the home special while improving the way you live in it day-to-day. Historic homes were built by hand with quality woodworking and forged materials – intended to last a lifetime. At PSR, we honor this traditional craftsmanship while upgrading your home for the modern age.
Preserve original character while upgrading comfort and livability- Improve energy efficiency without compromising detail
- Address hidden issues (settling, moisture, outdated wiring/plumbing) the right way
DESIGNED AROUND YOUR HOME’S ORIGINAL ARCHITECTURE
Old homes have a rhythm: trim profiles, window placement, rooflines, porch columns, transitions between rooms. We design around that rhythm, so updates look like they were always meant to be there.
- Period-appropriate finishes and material choices
- Color, trim, and details that match the era
- Seamless additions and layout improvements that respect the original footprint
Prevent Common Issues in Historic Homes
Historic homes are certainly having their moment. Many new homeowners are opting for older homes over new builds. That said, it’s not uncommon for historic homes often come with a few “surprises.”
We don’t patch over them: we solve them – and prepare your home for generations to come. That means we:
- Repair and reproduce original millwork and trim profiles
- Update insulation, airflow, and weatherproofing
- Correct water intrusion, rot, and structural issues at the source
Upgrade Functionality The Right Way
Most homeowners aren’t trying to turn a historic home into a new build, either. They want it to live better while still feeling authentic.
The good news is: you don’t have to choose one or the other. From major appliances to the fine details, we help Ohio homeowners get the features you’d expect in a new home without sacrificing style.
- Kitchen appliances, tubs, and sinks that honor historic materials
- Stair, railing, and entries that enhance safety without changing style
- Layout refinements that improve flow while keeping architectural cues intact
