Roosevelt Open Concept Remodeling – Preserving History, Expanding Possibilities

The Roosevelt Historic District is one of Phoenix’s oldest and most cherished neighborhoods, known for its charming bungalows, period revival homes, and vibrant downtown proximity. Yet for all their appeal, many Roosevelt homes were built in an era that favored closed-off, room-by-room layouts—making them less compatible with modern living.

At Homework Remodels, we help homeowners reimagine their spaces with open concept remodeling that thoughtfully integrates the historic character of each home with the openness, light, and flow today’s families crave. Whether you’re looking to connect your kitchen to the living room, remove unnecessary walls, or create a larger entertaining area, we provide structural and design expertise that blends seamlessly with the architectural story of your Roosevelt home.

Why Open Concept Remodeling Is Ideal for Roosevelt Homes

Most Roosevelt homes were built between the early 1900s and 1930s, before open concept living was a design standard. Kitchens were hidden away, dining rooms were formal, and hallways separated the flow of space. Today, homeowners often seek:

- A better connection between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces
- Larger, airier rooms with improved lighting and sightlines
- Family-friendly layouts that encourage togetherness
- A more modern, cohesive feel without losing architectural soul

We specialize in transforming closed floor plans into spacious, flowing interiors that respect the details that make Roosevelt homes unique.

Removing Walls in Historic Homes—Done Right

The key to opening up a historic home is knowing how to do it without compromising its structure or style. At Homework Remodels, we are experts in removing load-bearing walls with safety, precision, and aesthetics in mind.

Our structural remodeling team provides:

- Engineering assessments and beam sizing to support the removed walls
- Custom solutions for hiding structural headers or creating decorative transitions
- Matching ceiling textures, plaster details, and trim
- Preservation of important design features like arches, niches, and built-ins

Whether we’re removing a single kitchen wall or combining several small rooms into one inviting great room, we ensure every detail supports both safety and style.

Open Concept Layouts That Respect History

We understand that your Roosevelt home is a piece of Phoenix’s living history. That’s why our open concept remodels are designed to enhance, not erase, the vintage charm. We pay close attention to:

- Original flooring transitions—seamlessly tying old and new
- Preserving baseboards, casings, and crown moldings
- Respecting the home’s scale, proportions, and lines of sight
- Choosing complementary paint colors, lighting fixtures, and finishes

You’ll enjoy a modern, functional layout that still feels authentically “Roosevelt.”

What Can Be Achieved Through Open Concept Remodeling?

With our design-build approach, we can help you:

- Combine a kitchen and dining room for better flow
- Open a hallway to improve connectivity between rooms
- Add a kitchen island or breakfast bar to anchor your open space
- Create flexible zones for living, working, and entertaining
- Improve natural light and ventilation throughout the home

If you’re planning a larger renovation, open concept remodeling is often combined with kitchen remodeling, bathroom upgrades, or even a whole-home renovation.

Historic Guidelines and Compliance in Roosevelt

Roosevelt is a Phoenix Historic Preservation District, and while interior work typically doesn’t require historic design approval, it’s still important to maintain authenticity—especially if changes impact window placement, rooflines, or exterior walls. Our team:

- Works with the City of Phoenix when permits or reviews are needed
- Respects the historic context of your property, even in interior work
- Coordinates every design choice with preservation in mind
- Handles all documentation, plans, and inspections on your behalf

You won’t have to worry about getting approvals or navigating red tape—we manage the process for you.
