We open up dated rooms in Hilton homes
From village cottages near Hilton Village to farmhouses off the lake, we take rooms back to studs and rebuild them right.
Hilton has a mix nobody else on the lake shore has quite like it: old village homes near Hilton Village, farmhouses that go back to the orchard days, and cottages built for summer that people now live in year-round. Whole-room work here usually means dealing with layouts that were chopped up decades ago, plus trim and doors worth keeping if the crew knows what to save. We do full rooms and full floors, not patch jobs.
A lot of Hilton houses started as farmhouses or seasonal lake cottages, built with whatever lumber and plaster was on hand at the time, then added onto more than once. Once we open a wall in one of these, we find balloon framing, old lath, layers of flooring stacked on top of each other, and sometimes trim that’s original to the house and worth pulling instead of tossing. Whole-floor work means planning around all of that before the first wall comes down.
What’s included
- Opening up chopped-up layouts into usable living space
- Reframing and leveling floors in older lake cottages
- Saving and reinstalling original wood trim and doors
- New paint-ready walls, ceilings and baseboard throughout
- Mudroom and laundry room builds off the back entry
- Bedroom and living room remodels down to the studs
What matters for Hilton remodels
The common mistake in Hilton is treating a cottage or farmhouse remodel like new construction and ripping out old wood trim and doors that could’ve been reused. Once it’s in the dumpster it’s gone, and matching it later costs more than saving it would have. We walk the room first, tell you what’s worth keeping, and build the rest of the plan around that before any demo starts.
One crew comes to your house in Hilton and stays until the room or floor is done, not juggled between other jobs. We cover floors, protect what’s staying, and clean up every day, not just at the end. You get a straight number before we start, no surprise add-ons halfway through. Call (585) 488-3155 and we’ll walk the space with you first.

Notes for Hilton homeowners
From village cottages near Hilton Village to farmhouses off the lake, we take rooms back to studs and rebuild them right.
- Parma’s building department handles permits for structural and layout changes, and older Hilton homes near the village often need a look at existing framing before that goes in.
- Lakeside cottages take a beating from weather off Lake Ontario, so we check for moisture behind walls before closing anything back up, especially on north-facing rooms.
- Seasonal and rental properties near Hamlin Beach direction sometimes have plumbing or wiring runs that were done fast for weekend use and need real fixing during a room remodel.
- Village lots in Hilton tend to be tighter than the farmhouse properties out toward the orchards, which changes how we stage material and where the dumpster can sit.
Hilton questions
Our house near Hilton Village still has the original trim and doors. Can you keep them?
Usually, yes. We look at the wood before demo starts and pull pieces carefully instead of ripping them out with drywall. If a piece is too far gone we can match the profile so the room still looks like it belongs.
We use our place on the lake seasonally. Can work happen while we’re away?
Yes, this is common for cottages out toward Hamlin Beach direction. We coordinate timing and access with you ahead of time and keep you updated as the room or floor comes together.
Do you deal with the moisture issues these lakeside houses tend to have?
We check for it before we close up any wall, especially in cottages that take weather straight off the lake. If we find it we’ll tell you what’s going on and what it takes to fix it before covering anything.
