Historical Home Restoration

Historical Home Restoration in South Carolina

Preserving the Past, One Detail at a Time

Historic homes are more than just buildings — they’re living pieces of history. Whether it’s a century-old farmhouse or a mid-20th-century gem, these homes carry stories, character, and craftsmanship worth preserving. At Zygmont Builders, we specialize in historical home restoration in South Carolina, offering a thoughtful blend of old-world preservation and modern structural integrity.


Based in New Zion and proudly serving Manning, Kingstree, Turbeville, Paxville, and surrounding areas, our team has extensive experience restoring older homes while respecting their original charm. We understand the complexities that come with restoring antique structures — and we approach every project with care, expertise, and reverence for the details.

What Is Historical Restoration?

Historical restoration involves repairing, renovating, or reconstructing a building to maintain its original appearance and function — while upgrading critical elements for safety, durability, and modern living.


At Zygmont Builders, our approach to restoration is twofold:


  • Preserve the architectural integrity and charm of the original design

  • Modernize systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) to meet today’s codes and comfort standards

We work closely with homeowners, preservation societies, and local municipalities when needed to ensure that all restoration projects meet historical accuracy and regulatory guidelines.

Common Historical Restoration Services

No two restoration projects are the same — and that’s what makes this work so rewarding. Our team customizes every project based on the home’s condition, historical era, and client preferences.

    It can be, depending on the materials, specialty labor, and scope involved. We provide honest, upfront estimates to help you budget accordingly.

    Yes — many clients opt to retain historical exteriors while modernizing the interiors for comfort and efficiency.

    Yes. We coordinate with local permitting offices and preservation organizations when needed to ensure your project complies with all requirements.
