Remodeling Riverside Jacksonville's Craftsman
Homes & Historic Bungalows.
Riverside is where Jacksonville's creative energy lives. Five Points coffee shops, the Cummer Museum on the river, the King Street district, and block after block of Craftsman bungalows, Prairie-style homes, and Colonial Revivals built between 1910 and 1940. Living in Riverside means loving old homes — and dealing with the realities that come with them: outdated kitchens, single-bathroom layouts, questionable DIY from previous owners, and flooring that's seen better decades.
TB Construction is Riverside's kind of contractor. We don't want to gut your Craftsman and install gray LVP and white shaker cabinets like every flip in America. We want to remodel it in a way that makes sense for the home — honoring the bones while fixing what doesn't work anymore.
Kitchen Remodeling — Riverside
Riverside kitchens from the 1920s were designed for a different era: small, enclosed, separate from dining and living spaces. Today's Riverside homeowners want to open things up without losing the Craftsman details — the built-in bookcases, the original trim, the wood-framed windows — that make these homes special.
We create open-concept conversions that feel intentional, not forced. We match new cabinetry to original woodwork stain profiles. We install period-appropriate hardware in oil-rubbed bronze or antique brass. We add functionality (dishwashers, garbage disposals, proper ventilation) that the original builders never imagined, without announcing "THIS PART IS NEW."

Many Riverside homes were built with one bathroom. Adding a second bathroom or expanding an existing one is one of the most valuable renovations you can make. We've converted closets, reclaimed hallway space, and added bump-outs to create second bathrooms in homes that desperately needed them. For existing bathrooms, we upgrade plumbing (some of these homes still have galvanized pipes), install modern tile, and add storage.

Riverside homes often hide treasures under carpet — original longleaf pine floors, oak strips, or parquet. We always investigate before recommending replacement. If original floors exist and are salvageable, we sand, repair, and refinish them. The result is flooring that no manufacturer can replicate because the wood itself is 100 years old and irreplaceable.

FAQ.
Yes, but we'll need to address the wiring as part of the project. We coordinate with licensed electricians to update electrical systems in older Riverside homes. In many cases, a kitchen remodel is the perfect time to rewire.
Yes — this is one of our most common Riverside projects. We've added half-baths and full bathrooms by converting closets, reclaiming underutilized spaces, and occasionally adding small bump-outs. It's one of the highest-ROI renovations for these homes.
Parts of Riverside are within the Riverside/Avondale Historic District. Exterior changes may require review, but interior remodeling is generally unrestricted. We'll advise you on what applies to your specific property.
