OUR PHILOSOPHY

Our Philosophy is Simple.

❦

IF IT ORIGINALLY EXISTED

It can be recreated — faithfully, by hand, using traditional methods it was first built with.

❦

IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED

It can be restored — properly, with respect for the materials, proportions and story of the home.

❦

IF IT HAS BEEN LOST

It can be brought back to life — from intricate fretwork to ornamental plaster, nothing is beyond reach.

ABOUT US

Craftsmen, Restorers &
Problem-Solvers

"The Character of a Home is Found in the Details."

At Heritage Home Restorations, we specialise in the restoration, preservation and transformation of period and heritage homes. We are not volume builders. We are not project builders.

The decorative fretwork that frames a verandah. The handcrafted timber mouldings that cannot be purchased. The ornate cornices, skirting boards, leadlight windows and architectural features that tell the story of a home's history — these are the elements we are passionate about preserving.

Whether restoring a Victorian cottage, renovating a Federation residence or designing a substantial modern addition to a heritage home, we approach every project with the same attention to detail, respect and care.

Led by Raf Merhi, Heritage Home Restorations is built on a lifelong passion for building, design and craftsmanship. Known throughout Melbourne for creating one-off architectural features and bespoke custom pieces, Raf combines practical building expertise with an eye for design, proportion and detail.

Working alongside a trusted team of skilled tradespeople, designers and specialists, we deliver projects that honour the original character of a home while ensuring it functions beautifully for modern living.

"Where others see something that cannot be sourced, repaired or replicated — we see an opportunity to restore it properly."

WHAT SETS US APART

Old-World Craftsmanship, Largely Disappeared From The Industry

What truly sets us apart is our ability to recreate and handcraft many of these features ourselves. From intricate timber fretwork and decorative gables to heritage windows, custom joinery, mouldings and architectural details, much of our work is individually crafted using traditional methods.

For us, restoration is not simply construction. It is the preservation of craftsmanship, the protection of history and the responsibility of ensuring remarkable homes continue to stand proudly for generations to come.
