Fort Washington's Colonial Homes Renovated Right

Fort Washington is defined by established residential neighborhoods, mature landscaping, and a housing stock that leans heavily Colonial — formal architecture with a strong sense of permanence. These are homes that have been well-maintained by owners who care about quality, and they deserve a contractor who brings the same standard to renovation work.

Fred Beese Builds serves Fort Washington from his base in Wyndmoor, about 20 minutes away. Fred has 30+ years of design and construction experience — plus a background in Hollywood film production that gives him an unusually calibrated eye for proportion, material, and light. Kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, custom built-ins, lighting design — every project is handled personally by Fred, without subcontractors.

For Fort Washington homeowners who want their renovation done right the first time, this is the level of attention the work deserves.

Fort Washington Home Types

Fort Washington Home Types Fred Works In

Colonial & Georgian Revival

Fort Washington's dominant residential style is the formal Colonial — center-hall layouts, symmetrical facades, detailed millwork, traditional proportions. Fred designs renovations that extend this language rather than breaking from it.

Mid-Century & Post-War Colonial

The post-war Colonial and Cape Cod homes throughout Fort Washington are solid houses with good bones. Fred's custom woodworking and renovation work adds the considered detail these homes were built to eventually have.

Historic & Pre-War Properties

Fort Washington has older properties along the historic corridors with original materials and period character. Fred's experience with historic construction — plaster, original millwork, older configurations — makes him effective in these homes.

When the Part Doesn't Exist, You Make It

A century-old Gothic arch double door in a Wyndmoor stone home. The original carved oak tracery header — cusped ogee arches, lancet moldings, foliate rosette — was beyond repair.
