Main Line Home Renovations, Additions & Restorations

While custom home and estate design often claims the lion’s share of the attention, it is equally – if not more – important to work with an experienced Master Builder when embarking on an extensive renovation, update, addition or home restoration. The exquisite homes in along Philadelphia’s Main Line are considered some of the country’s finest architectural gems. When these estates need repair, the repairs cannot be left in the hands of just any tradesman.

Renovating or restoring stately historic properties requires heightened sensitivity to the past and the ability to integrate classic home design features with current building codes and modern technologies. William G. Smith, Jr. understands the requirements and idiosyncrasies of renovating prestigious stone Colonial homes, updating 200-year old estates to 21st Century conveniences as well as designing additions to the estate buildings that honor the past while sustaining a current level of luxury and perspective.

Bill Smith spends time at the beginning of the renovation project to research options and work with you to determine the scope of the addition or restoration that suits your requirements and desires. Then he assembles the team of skilled professionals, from architect to artisans and trades people, to bring the new or remodeled areas of your home into reality.

Our experience with Bill Smith and building our home was a pleasure. He was always there to make sure things were done right and to perfection.

We truly enjoyed the process of building our new home with Bill Smith. He made sure we were relaxed and happy with the construction process from beginning to end. Real professional.

This is our dream home so we were very careful about whom we would choose to build it. After extensive research which involved speaking with other customers of Bill and many Realtors who all spoke very highly of Bill Smith, we chose to build with him. It turned out to be a very pleasant experience.

Bill thank you for the flowers, we should be giving you the flowers. Your references underestimated your commitment to excellence. You are a Master Master Craftsman. I can't thank you enough for taking on this difficult project. I can now live in the home because of you. Blessings to you.

Bill Smith and the team at William G. Smith Jr. Master Builder created an exceptional home for us. We have lived here for seven years and it is perfect; we would change nothing. In addition, working with Bill to complete our new home was a positive experience. A visiting architect friend was most impressed at the extraordinary level of care, quality and detail William G. Smith Jr. Master Builder put into our home. We definitely recommend Bill to anyone considering building or renovating along the Main Line and we would ask him to build for us again if the opportunity arose.

We're an architectural firm working with dozens of builders in the area. We've worked with William G. Smith Jr. for more than 10 years and he is unquestionably one of the most professional, capable, over-the-top builders we have ever had the pleasure of working with. When we design an estate, we generally factor in a measure of safety to be sure it will be safe no matter what. Bill takes our factor of safety and always goes beyond that. He's not satisfied unless everything is first rate.
