Floriston Renovation
Residential Remodel | Full Interior Reconstruction + System Upgrades
The Floriston project involved the transformation of an aging structure originally built in 1910. The home required a full interior rebuild to bring it up to modern standards while maintaining the integrity of the existing structure. Tradecraft worked closely with the client to evaluate the space, identify limitations, and create a clear path forward before construction began.
What started as an outdated interior was taken down to the framing and rebuilt with updated systems, refined finishes, and improved functionality. The result is a home that feels cohesive and intentional, while performing to the expectations of modern living.

Execution
Given the age of the structure, the project required careful evaluation and adjustment at every phase. Walls were reframed to correct inconsistencies and create a true, level foundation for all finishes and systems moving forward. Each upgrade was approached with the understanding that older construction requires flexibility and problem solving.
From plumbing and electrical replacement to finish installation, every phase was sequenced to ensure alignment across trades. The work was executed with attention to detail so that new systems, materials, and finishes integrated cleanly within the existing structure.
Build Detail
This project required a balance between reconstruction and refinement. With the home stripped to its framing, each decision had to support both structural integrity and long-term performance. Coordination across framing, mechanical systems, and finishes ensured the project moved forward without conflict.
The finished result is a fully rebuilt interior that feels grounded, clean, and durable. Updated systems, corrected structure, and elevated finishes come together to create a home that not only looks improved, but functions reliably for years to come.
