Federation Home Renovations

Preserve the charm. Upgrade the function. We specialise in restoring Federation homes across Sydney with period-correct detail and modern comfort.

Respecting the Past, Building for the Future

Federation-era homes (1890–1915) are architectural treasures — pressed metal ceilings, leadlight windows, ornate fretwork and timber floorboards tell stories a century old.

At Reno Build, we don't strip that character out. We restore it. Every renovation is planned to preserve heritage detail while introducing modern kitchens, bathrooms, insulation and energy efficiency so your home lives beautifully for another hundred years.

From single-room updates to full-home transformations, our trade team is trained in heritage-appropriate techniques — lime mortar, custom timber joinery, leadlight restoration and period-matched finishes.

Heritage-Friendly Kitchens

Modern cooking function in a kitchen that honours the era — shaker cabinetry, stone benchtops, classic tapware and integrated appliances.
