Historic Home Renovations in Maine
KEEP THE CHARACTER. UPDATE THE HOME.
Maine is full of older homes with real character: Victorians, farmhouses, capes and in-town homes built generations ago. O’Shea Builders renovates historic and older properties with care, updating kitchens, baths and living spaces while respecting the details that make the house special.
One project manager guides you through every decision, including the ones that come up once the walls are opened.
Renovating Older Maine Homes the Right Way
Older homes come with uneven framing, outdated systems and original details worth keeping. We plan for all of that up front, so your renovation brings the home up to date without stripping away its character.
- Kitchen and bathroom remodels in older homes

Historic Home Renovation FAQs
Do you work on historic and very old homes?
Yes. We renovate older homes across Southern, Coastal and Lakes Region Maine, from in-town Victorians to rural farmhouses and capes.
What if you find surprises once the walls are opened?
With older homes it is common. We plan for the possibility up front, and your project manager walks you through what we find and your options before work continues.
Can you keep the original details of our home?
Wherever practical. We talk with you early about which features matter most, from trim and doors to floors and windows, and plan the work to protect or restore them.
