Historic Renovation & Modernization Services for Commercial Properties
Historic commercial buildings tell a story, showcasing craftsmanship, character, and architectural beauty that stand the test of time. However, preserving these properties while integrating modern functionality requires expertise and thoughtful design. At Discount Decor, we specialize in updating historic commercial spaces by enhancing interiors with high-quality cabinetry, flooring, countertops, and other key design elements—ensuring that your renovation maintains the charm of the past while meeting the needs of modern businesses.

- Custom Cabinetry & Storage Solutions: Installing beautifully crafted cabinets that complement the building’s era while improving functionality for modern office or retail use.
- Flooring Updates: Refinishing original hardwood, installing durable vinyl or laminate alternatives, or restoring tile work to maintain the property’s authentic appeal.
- Countertop Upgrades: Incorporating stone, quartz, or butcher block countertops that enhance break rooms, reception areas, or restrooms without compromising the historic aesthetic.
- Thoughtful Material Selection: Using period-appropriate materials such as natural wood, stone, brick and mortar, and hand-crafted finishes to align with the building’s character.

Challenges of Historic Commercial Renovations
Modernizing a historic commercial property comes with unique challenges that require careful planning. Some of the most common considerations include:
- Design Compatibility: Ensuring new additions match the building’s original style and craftsmanship while considering sustainable design.
- Building Code Compliance: Meeting local and state historic preservation office regulations for updating older structures while maintaining their integrity.
- Structural Limitations: Working with existing layouts, walls, and ceilings that may not conform to modern architecture trends.
- Material Matching: Sourcing materials that align with the original construction, such as brickwork, masonry, stucco, clay, lime, and mortar.
- Infrastructure Improvements: Updating plumbing, ventilation, and lighting while ensuring compliance with historic preservation guidelines.
Investing in Historic Preservation for Commercial Spaces
Renovating a historic commercial property isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s also an investment in history, community, and sustainability. Many properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places or recognized by the National Trust for Historic Preservation may qualify for tax credits, tax incentives, and property tax breaks. Understanding these financial benefits can make a significant difference when planning your renovation budget.
Additionally, business owners working with the National Park Service or local historic districts may need to meet certain guidelines to maintain eligibility for easements and grants. We can help you navigate these considerations by ensuring your updates comply with preservation standards.
