Heritage Home Restoration & Renovations in Saint Andrews
Restoring Character. Renewing Comfort. Honouring Home.
When you choose to work with Harbour Town Builders, you’re choosing more than a builder. You’re also choosing to support Saint Andrews’ time-honored trades and the ongoing preservation of our coastal heritage.
Saint Andrews is our home. Like you, we chose to settle here because of the coast, the community, and the appeal and charm of the town’s residential architecture.
Heritage Home Restorations
A heritage home is more than wood and stone – it holds the stories of the families, the spirit of its community, and the quiet echoes of lives well lived.
But what do you do when you fall in love with a quaint coastal cottage, only to discover on moving day that the ceilings are too low or the spaces too tight?
At Harbour Town Builders, restoring these homes is a privilege. It means respecting their unique quirks, celebrating their original craftsmanship, and gently bringing them up to a standard of comfort, safety, and functionality.
Whether your house has been in the family for generations, or you've just discovered its charm, every restoration is a partnership – a shared promise to protect what’s special while welcoming new memories within its walls.
Harbour Town Builders has a deep knowledge of historic preservation, coastal building codes, local heritage requirements, and a kindred respect for Saint Andrews' history.
"They brought creative solutions to the table and treated every detail with care. It’s rare to find a builder who understands the balance between preservation and modernization so well. Thanks to Harbour Town Builders, we now have a home that honours its past while being perfectly suited for the future.”
