Holbrook House Restoration LLC
New England Craftsmanship, reimagined for California living
For over forty years, Holbrook House Restoration has honed a heritage of impeccable skill and time‐honored building practices along the East Coast. Rooted in the storied landscapes of New England, we now bring that same dedication and attention to detail to California, merging old‐world expertise with modern West Coast style. From historic home restorations to contemporary redesigns, our work is a testament to the craftsmanship traditions we carry—and the future we continue to build.
Your INvestment
We know that cost is critical. Whether you’re restoring an 18th-century Colonial or building a modern retreat, we invest the time to fully understand your vision and create an accurate estimate. “Ballpark” numbers can be tempting, but they often overlook important details. Our decades of hands-on experience mean we’re better equipped to foresee challenges and prevent costly surprises. When it comes to your money, transparency is key—so we walk you through our approach, explain our markup, and show exactly how we price labor and materials.
Integrity in Every Detail
Growing up in New Hampshire taught us the value of hard work and doing things right the first time. From weathering brutal nor’easters to preserving centuries-old timbers, we’ve seen it all. That’s why “restoration” is in our name. We don’t cut corners; we uphold time-tested building traditions while embracing new technologies that enhance quality. Our team is a group of seasoned craftspeople who take pride in their craft and who continually challenge themselves to reach the next level of competence.
