Preserving History With Precision.
Historic home renovation demands more than technical knowledge. It calls for a sensitivity to architectural heritage, a mastery of traditional building methods, and a vision that balances authenticity with modern livability. At Veritas Contracting, we treat every historic home as a legacy to be preserved—honoring its original character while preparing it for generations to come. Whether the need is foundation stabilization, period-specific millwork restoration, or adaptive layout changes, our team brings expertise, care, and precision to every phase of the home renovation process.
Core Services
Historic Home Renovations
Structural Repair and Foundation Work
Historic homes often conceal significant structural challenges—from failing floor systems to outdated foundations. We assess load paths, inspect framing conditions, and reinforce or replace structural elements to ensure safety and longevity without disturbing the original design intent.
Original Material Restoration
Preserving historic authenticity begins with honoring the materials that defined the home’s original construction. Our team restores original woodwork, trims, doors, plaster, stone, and masonry with careful attention to texture, patina, and method. Where replacement is necessary, we source period-appropriate materials and replicate the original craftsmanship with exacting detail.
Adaptive Reuse and Layout Refinement
Many historic homes weren’t designed for today’s lifestyle. We help homeowners improve flow and functionality through careful layout modifications that respect the home’s architectural DNA. Whether it’s introducing a more open kitchen or adding discreet modern amenities, we make thoughtful design adjustments that enhance livability without compromising authenticity.
Preservation Code Compliance
We are deeply familiar with the guidelines set by local and national preservation authorities. Our team ensures every renovation complies with applicable historic district codes, easement agreements, and zoning requirements—helping you secure permits and avoid costly delays while staying true to the home’s architectural significance.
Our Approach
A historic home is never just a structure—it’s a story. And when that story shows signs of stress, damage, or age, the right builder must know how to listen. We start by understanding your goals, the home’s condition, and the historical significance of its features. From there, we build a plan that protects what matters most, modernizes where needed, and preserves the home’s integrity from foundation to finish.
Veritas Contracting’s renovation team includes seasoned craftsmen, preservation specialists, and project managers with decades of experience in structural repair, historic detailing, and compliance with preservation codes. We understand the nuances of local requirements and the importance of working closely with architects, homeowners, and preservation bodies.
Why It Matters
Historic home renovation is a high-stakes endeavor. One misstep can erase generations of history or diminish the value of a structure meant to endure. What’s needed is a partner who brings more than general contracting skill—one who offers a craftsman’s eye, a historian’s appreciation, and a home builder’s precision. Veritas Contracting delivers all three. We are known for our ability to stabilize, restore, and reimagine historic homes in ways that feel seamless and enduring.
Our work across Middleburg, The Plains, and greater Loudoun County reflects this balance: architectural fidelity paired with modern performance. We don’t just repair and rebuild—we bring stories back to life.
