Thoughtful Remodeling for Frankfort Homes
Frankfort is one of Lexington’s most established and recognizable neighborhoods, known for its mature streets, distinctive homes, and convenient location near the heart of the city.
Remodeling a home in Frankfort often requires a different approach than renovating a newer property. Older homes can have architectural details worth preserving, while kitchens, bathrooms, floor plans, storage, and infrastructure may need to be updated for modern living.
BACK Construction brings decades of experience designing and building renovations throughout Lexington and Central Kentucky. Our design-build approach combines planning, design, budgeting, and construction into one coordinated process, helping homeowners create a home that feels both appropriate to its character and better suited to the way they live today.

Remodeling With Frankfort's Character in Mind
A successful Frankfort renovation isn’t simply about making an older home look new.
Many homeowners choose the neighborhood because they appreciate its established character. Mature landscaping, original architectural details, traditional proportions, and the individuality of older homes can all be part of what makes a property special.
At the same time, the way families use their homes has changed.
Kitchens may need to accommodate larger gatherings. Bathrooms may need better storage and accessibility. Separate rooms may need stronger connections. Homeowners may want dedicated office space, improved natural light, or additional living space without giving up the neighborhood they love.
Our approach is to look at the entire home and determine where thoughtful changes can improve functionality while respecting the qualities that make the property unique.

Why Choose BACK Construction for Your Frankfort Remodel?
Lexington Experience Since 1981
BACK Construction has been serving homeowners in Lexington and Central Kentucky since 1981. That local experience provides an understanding of the region’s homes, neighborhoods, and remodeling considerations.
Design and Construction Under One Team

Experience With Older Homes
Our portfolio includes renovations of established Lexington properties, including the 1936 Frankfort project featured in the BIA Tour of Remodeled Homes.
A Focus on How You Live
The best remodeling project isn’t simply the one with the newest finishes. It’s the one that makes your home function better for your everyday life.
We consider how you use your rooms, how your family moves through the home, where you need storage, how you entertain, and what you want the property to provide in the years ahead.

Remodeling in Frankfort Without Losing What You Love
One of the biggest advantages of remodeling is that you don’t have to choose between the home you love and the functionality you need.
You can stay in a neighborhood that’s familiar. You can preserve architectural details that matter to you. And you can make changes that allow your home to better accommodate the way you live today.
Whether you’re considering a kitchen renovation, bathroom remodel, addition, or complete home transformation, the first step is understanding what’s possible.
Let’s look at your Frankfort home together and develop a plan around your goals.

Remodeling an Older Home Requires More Than a New Finish
Renovating an older Frankfort home can uncover conditions that aren’t visible during an initial walk-through.
Previous renovations, aging materials, structural changes, outdated systems, and decades of modifications can all influence how a project should be planned.
That’s why the early design and planning process matters.
Rather than beginning with a list of finishes, we start by understanding the existing home, your priorities, and the scope of change you’re considering. This allows the project team to identify opportunities and potential challenges before construction begins.
The result is a remodeling plan based on the actual home—not a generic renovation template.
Frequently Asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Frankfort Remodeling
01 Can you remodel an older home in Frankfort?
Yes. Older homes can be excellent candidates for remodeling when the renovation is planned around the home’s existing conditions, architecture, and the homeowner’s goals.
BACK Construction has completed remodeling work on established Chevy Chase properties, including a 1936 home that was substantially updated while incorporating elements of its original character.
02 Is it better to remodel or move from Frankfort?
If you love your neighborhood and location but your home no longer meets your needs, remodeling may be worth considering before moving.
A design-build consultation can help determine whether your desired changes can be accomplished within the existing home or property.
03 Can you preserve original character during a remodel?
Yes. Preservation and modernization don’t have to be opposing goals.
Architectural details, proportions, materials, and other characteristics can be considered as part of the design while introducing modern functionality where it makes sense.
04 Do you remodel entire homes in Frankfort?
Yes. BACK Construction handles whole-house renovations as well as individual kitchen, bathroom, addition, and other remodeling projects.
A whole-house approach can be particularly useful when multiple areas of an older home need to be improved at the same time.
05 How long does a Frankfort remodeling project take?
The timeline depends on the scope and complexity of the project. A bathroom renovation will generally involve a different planning and construction timeline than a whole-house renovation or addition.
The design-build process begins by understanding your project goals and developing a realistic scope before construction begins.
06 What if I don't know what type of remodeling project I need?
That’s okay.
Many homeowners know that their house isn’t working for them but aren’t sure whether the answer is a kitchen renovation, addition, reconfigured floor plan, or larger renovation.
That’s one of the reasons the initial planning process is valuable. We can look at your home, listen to what isn’t working, and help identify potential solutions.
