Case Studies
Project Summaries
Bathroom
A full gut renovation transforming a dated bathroom into a show-stopping vintage green tile bathroom with custom arched tub alcove, period fixtures, and octagon floor tile. Chestnut Hill, PA.
Restoration
A century-old Gothic arch double door from a Wyndmoor stone home — restored and its carved oak tracery header hand-replicated from scratch. Historic millwork preservation.
Restoration
Two Gothic arch double doors on a Montgomery County stone chapel with severe rot damage to bottom rails — restored structurally and refinished. Blue Bell, PA.
Bathroom
A complete bathroom repair and rebuild — from exposed studs to a clean, bright finished bathroom with pedestal sink, new drywall, tile floor, and modern fixtures. Chestnut Hill, PA.
Woodwork
Floor-to-ceiling built-in shelving designed and built on site to fit the room exactly — solid construction, clean lines, and a finish matched to the home's existing millwork.
Woodwork
A custom front-door installation — precise fit, weather-tight hang, and hardware set by one craftsman, restoring both curb appeal and a proper seal to the entry.
Why Fred Beese Builds
Fred doesn't manage crews — he does the work himself. That means every cut, every joint, every finish decision comes from the same person who designed the project. No miscommunication, no quality variance.
From Hollywood set construction to historic home restoration in Montgomery County, Fred brings three decades of building knowledge to every project. He's seen every problem and solved most of them twice.
The older homes of Chestnut Hill, Wyndmoor, and the surrounding communities demand a builder who understands original materials, period construction methods, and how to integrate modern function without destroying character.
