Period Restoration is a family-owned St. Louis firm that preserves and restores traditional homes and crafts new construction all while emphasizing handcrafted quality in each detail, integrating new technologies and amenities to serve the way we live today.
Period Restoration was founded to answer the desire for a beautiful, heirloom-quality home.
From the beginning, we have sought to preserve the spirit of traditional homes through appropriate materials and exacting craft techniques. Equally, we build new structures with the goal of creating unique contemporary homes that will be cherished for decades.
Established in 2009 by Randy Renner, Jr., Period Restoration has become a notable name in the St. Louis area.
Randy learned to respect the art and craft of making and building from his grandfather and later developed a passion for historic architecture. Today, that legacy gives new life to residential structures, including those listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Period Restoration takes pride in the dozens of handsome traditional homes restored, the new homes built and the partnerships we’ve formed along the way to ensure superior execution on every project.
Team
Randy Renner, Jr.
Founder | Co-OwnerRandy has a deep appreciation for historic architecture and is strongly committed to preservation-driven renovation and carefully considered additions. His work is guided by a respect for original design, proportion, and craftsmanship, with an emphasis on maintaining architectural integrity while adapting structures for modern use.
This philosophy extends to both renovation and ground-up construction, where Randy brings a thoughtful, hands-on approach and incorporates personal design touches rooted in timeless architectural principles. He believes that well-designed buildings should honor their origins, age gracefully, and contribute lasting value.
Outside of his professional work, Randy values quality time with family and friends, is a parent to four children, and maintains an active lifestyle, with exercise playing an important role in balance and focus.
Randy Renner, Sr.
Founder | Co-OwnerI’ve always loved the character of old homes—the way copper gutters take on a rich patina over time, the texture and color of slate and tile rooflines, the placement of windows, and the detail of custom millwork. That love inspires our work at Period Restoration, where we focus on restoring historic homes and creating custom new residences. Every project reflects old-world craftsmanship and carefully chosen, authentic materials, blending timeless skill with modern functionality to create homes that are both enduring and personal.
