What Is Custom Retro Fitting?
Custom retro fitting is the art of modifying existing spaces to meet new needs — while blending the new work seamlessly with the old. Unlike traditional remodeling, retro fitting works within the current structure, preserving your home’s integrity while enhancing comfort, safety, and utility.
Common retro fitting solutions include:
Reconfiguring walls and closets
Creating custom storage in tight or oddly shaped areas
Retrofitting for aging-in-place or ADA compliance
Replacing outdated framing or woodwork
Modernizing rooms without full renovation
Updating hardware, trim, and finishes for a cohesive style
“I needed a custom closet built out of an awkward space. Not only did they do it fast, but it came out looking amazing!”
– Dana P., St. Augustine

- Homes with outdated layouts that need better flow
