Mid-Century Modern Whole-Home Remodeling — Respecting the Past, Building for the Future

Timeless Design. Custom Transformation.

Whole-home remodeling is your opportunity to reimagine the way you live—while protecting the soul of your mid-century modern home. Whether you’re living in a Ralph Haver, Al Beadle, or other modernist classic, Homework Remodels helps you transform outdated spaces into a cohesive, high-performing home that blends mid-century charm with contemporary livability.

From the roofline to the flooring, from clerestory windows to floorplans, our Mid-Century Modernization process is about more than just remodeling—it’s about preserving a legacy and making it yours.

What Is Mid-Century Modern Whole-Home Remodeling?

A whole-home remodel involves a comprehensive renovation of most or all living spaces—kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, systems, finishes, and often the floorplan itself. For mid-century homes, this means:

Preserving key architectural features (rooflines, masonry, beams)
Refreshing materials in alignment with MCM design principles
Reconfiguring layouts to match modern lifestyles
Updating systems for safety, comfort, and efficiency

Whether you want to maintain a strict MCM aesthetic or blend it with other styles, Homework Remodels guides you through each design and construction decision with clarity and care.

Our Mid-Century Design-Build Approach

Remodeling a mid-century home is different from remodeling any other style. It demands restraint, creativity, and a deep understanding of the architecture.

Our design-build process ensures:

One unified team handles your project from design through construction
Every design choice supports the home’s original character
Architectural consistency is maintained—even with additions or major changes
Clear communication and accountability from start to finish

Layout & Floorplan Reconfiguration

Many mid-century homes were built with small, segmented rooms that no longer meet today’s expectations for openness and flow. We help you rethink how space is used—without undermining the clarity of the original design.

We offer:

Open concept remodeling with engineered wall removal
Improved connectivity between kitchen, living, and dining spaces
New circulation paths that feel intuitive and expansive
Layouts that preserve sightlines, beams, and original proportions

Every change we make is respectful of the home’s architectural rhythm—and driven by your lifestyle needs.

Kitchen Transformation with MCM Integrity

A whole-home remodel is the perfect opportunity to reimagine your kitchen. We design kitchens that feel like natural extensions of the home—spatially, visually, and functionally.

Our kitchen remodels include:

Slab cabinetry in walnut, teak, or color-blocked laminates
Quartz or terrazzo-look countertops with waterfall edges
Integrated appliances and minimalistic hardware
Open islands for gathering and entertaining
Restored or new clerestory windows for added light

We help you strike the right balance between vintage authenticity and high-functioning modern design.

Bathroom Remodeling in a Whole-Home Context

In a whole-home renovation, bathrooms are treated not as afterthoughts—but as essential spaces to elevate the daily experience.

We remodel bathrooms with:

Floating vanities and frameless showers
Terrazzo or geometric tilework
Energy-efficient fixtures with vintage styling
Natural lighting via skylights or clerestory windows
Expanded layouts where space allows

We ensure the bathrooms feel just as mid-century inspired—and just as upgraded—as the rest of your home.

Clerestory Windows: Letting the Light In

One of the defining elements of mid-century modern homes is the clerestory window. These narrow, horizontal windows invite daylight, maintain privacy, and reinforce the linear geometry of MCM architecture.

During whole-home remodels, we:

Preserve original clerestory placements and proportions
Replace outdated windows with energy-efficient glazing
Add new clerestory windows to dark or expanded areas
Integrate lighting to highlight shadowplay and structure

Systems Upgrades with Discretion

Behind the scenes, mid-century homes often need full-scale system improvements. We modernize:

Electrical panels, lighting, and smart switches
HVAC ductwork, insulation, and zoning
Plumbing systems, drainage, and water heating
Energy performance with new windows, doors, and envelope sealing

All upgrades are integrated discreetly, so your home performs like new—while looking like it belongs to the golden age of design.

Mid-Century Friendly Additions

Need more space? A well-designed addition can blend perfectly with your MCM home if it’s executed with discipline.

We design and build:

Master suite additions that preserve roof pitch and massing
Home offices or guest suites with matching fenestration
Garage conversions or casitas with period-appropriate finishes
Outdoor patios or covered breezeways with mid-century details

We obsess over proportions, materials, and continuity—so your expanded home still feels like one cohesive design.

Roofing and fascia restoration
Paint and masonry cleaning or repair
Period-inspired entry doors and garage doors

Our goal is to elevate your home’s presence without compromising its mid-century identity.
