Smarter Homes. Lower Bills. Better Comfort.

At BurgessHill Construction, we help homeowners upgrade their homes for energy performance—without sacrificing design or quality. Whether you're renovating an older home or making targeted improvements, our design/build approach ensures every upgrade is tailored to your space, your goals, and your budget.

Save money. Breathe easier. Feel more comfortable year-round.

Older homes are often beautiful—but behind the walls, they can be drafty, inefficient, and expensive to maintain. Smart upgrades can drastically reduce energy usage, improve air quality, and even increase your home’s resale value.

Common Energy Efficiency Upgrades Include:

• High-performance windows & doors
   
• Attic, wall, and crawl space insulation
   
• Air sealing & weatherization
   
• Energy-efficient HVAC systems
   
• Tankless or heat pump water heaters
   
• Smart thermostats & home automation
   
• LED lighting upgrades & low-flow fixtures
   
• Solar-ready electrical infrastructure
   

We balance efficiency with aesthetics, ensuring that upgrades don’t just perform—they fit seamlessly into your home’s design.

Because we handle both design and construction, we can recommend and install the best energy-saving solutions for your specific home—not just off-the-shelf fixes.

Our Process:

1. Assessment & Planning – We evaluate where your home is losing energy and identify your biggest opportunities for savings.
    
2. Design with Efficiency in Mind – Every renovation or upgrade is planned with energy performance built in—from insulation to lighting to system design.
    
3. Expert Installation – Our experienced team installs all components to spec, ensuring every dollar you invest returns maximum value.
    
4. Post-Upgrade Testing (Optional) – We can work with energy auditors to test performance improvements and help you qualify for rebates or tax credits.
    

Many local and federal programs offer incentives for energy-efficient upgrades. We’ll help you navigate your options so you can take full advantage of available savings. Energy improvements also pay off long-term through:

• Lower monthly utility bills
   
• Increased indoor comfort & air quality
   
• Higher resale value and market appeal
   
• Reduced maintenance costs
   

Preserving Character. Building for the Future.

Historic homes are treasures—rich with craftsmanship, materials, and stories that deserve to be protected. But restoring one isn’t just about aesthetics. It requires care, precision, and a deep understanding of what makes older homes both beautiful and structurally sound.

At Burgess Hill Construction, we specialize in historical renovations that honor original architecture while modernizing key systems for comfort and safety. We understand that restoring a historic home isn't a standard renovation—it's a partnership with the past, the present, and the local community.

Restoring a historic home or building requires a thoughtful approach to design, construction, and compliance. We work hand-in-hand with preservation societies, historic commissions, architectural review boards, and building departments to make sure your project is approved—and done right.

We’re experienced in:

• Working within historic districts and under preservation guidelines
   
• Reproducing or repairing original millwork, siding, windows, and trim
   
• Upgrading mechanicals, plumbing, and electrical while maintaining structure
   
• Coordinating with architectural historians and planning boards
   
• Securing Certificates of Appropriateness and local approval
   
• Blending modern functionality with period-correct finishes
   
• Advising on adaptive reuse for historic commercial structures
   

Historic renovations involve far more planning, review, and documentation than standard remodels. These projects are highly regulated—and rightly so.

You may need:

• Special design approval from a local historical commission
   
• Permits with additional documentation or archival research
   
• Compliance with Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation
   
• Approval of materials, paint colors, or window specs
   
• Public hearings or neighborhood notice periods
   

We help you navigate every step of this process. Our team is proactive, patient, and detail-oriented—exactly what's needed when dealing with multiple agencies and strict design criteria.

1. Historic Assessment & Consultation
   We evaluate your structure, identify preservation requirements, and clarify your goals.
    
2. Design Coordination
   We work with architects, preservationists, and local officials to create a compliant, sensitive design plan.
    
3. Planning & Approvals
   We manage submission packages, permit applications, and attend design review hearings when needed.
    
4. Construction with Care
   Our skilled craftsmen and restoration specialists treat every original detail with respect—from plaster and trim to stonework and joinery.
    
5. Final Inspection & Documentation
   We ensure that your restoration is not only beautiful—but also properly documented for future reference, sale, or historic registry.
    

Historic homes demand more than modern know-how—they require a builder who understands old-world materials, methods, and systems. We bring a combination of:

• Technical skill in wood, stone, masonry, and plaster
   
• Sensitivity to architectural heritage
   
• Experience with historical design standards and oversight bodies
   
• Project management that keeps complex timelines on track
