Renovating Old Naples homes — built to look as if they were always there.

Old Naples is one of Southwest Florida's most architecturally distinctive neighborhoods — a walkable grid of older homes, many pre-dating the 1970s, steps from 5th Avenue South and the Gulf beach. Renovating in Old Naples requires a contractor who understands that the value of these properties is inseparable from their character.

Bill Varian's foundational philosophy — that any work on an existing property must look as if it were there from the beginning — was shaped by his father's approach to renovating older Boston properties. That same discipline applies directly to Old Naples, where the wrong addition or remodel can undercut the home's value and character just as easily as it can enhance them.

Varian Construction has completed whole-home renovations, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and additions in Old Naples. We bring 30+ years of Naples construction experience and a state-certified general contractor license (CGC 061412) to every project.

Whole-Home Renovations

Old Naples homes often need comprehensive updates — electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and cosmetic — while preserving the architectural details that make them worth owning. We manage full renovation projects that honor what's there while upgrading what needs to change.

Kitchen Remodeling

Many Old Naples kitchens reflect 1960s–1980s layouts that don't align with how people cook and entertain today. We reconfigure layouts, remove walls where structurally appropriate, and build kitchens that feel native to the home's character — not grafted on.

Bathroom Remodeling

Master bath and hall bath renovations that balance the home's period details with modern standards for comfort and function.

Additions

Old Naples lots are typically smaller than newer Naples communities, but additions — guest suites, expanded living areas, covered outdoor rooms — are achievable within the neighborhood's setback requirements. We obtain all permits and design additions that read as original to the home.
