Nineteenth Century Restorations is owned and operated by Daniel Riedemann, a 5th generation carpenter who learned specialty restoration working with his father and grandfather, learning since childhood.  Through his extensive experience in custom carpentry, plaster repair, and wood window restoration, Daniel learned to appreciate and reflect in his work the quality and style of 19th century techniques, but with modern amenities. He incorporates building design which meets or exceeds current energy efficiency standards.  Completed projects include room additions and full remodels of homes in west Plaza, old Leawood, Hyde Park, and Johnson County, Kansas.  He since relocated to Lawrence to raise a family and to focus on historic preservation.

Today, Nineteenth Century Restorations works to preserve and restore homes to the beauty and charm of our architectural history for future
generations.  Honoring the tradition of hard work, skill and pride of earlier generations who passed on their knowledge, we focus on building
with craftsmanship and integrity of the past while integrating technologies of today.

Dan uses a hands on approach, working onsite, staying intimately involved in every project from start to finish.  In a day where builders often work from the office and rarely step foot on the job site, Dan takes pride in his close involvement which includes ensuring the highest standards are met during each step of your project.

Reduce – Reuse – Recycle - Rebuild

Environmental sustainability is of great importance for Nineteenth Century Restoration, which is why we enforce strict recycling standards on job sites, salvage all reusable materials, and use reclaimed lumber and materials.  We also install the highest efficiency building materials for
HVAC, hot water tanks, insulation, windows, roofs, and cisterns.
