The venerable This Old House is back in the Garden State, taking on a classic 1930s colonial in Ridgewood. Homeowners Peter and Kay have enlisted builder Zack Dettmore and the TOH crew to help them modernize their home while preserving its original charm. It’s a delicate balance, one that requires both vision and respect for architectural history.
The main focus of the renovation is the kitchen, a space that, like many in older homes, needs a serious update to meet the demands of modern life. The plan is to add an extension, creating a more functional and spacious area for cooking, gathering, and everything in between. As always, This Old House will chronicle the entire process, from demolition to the finishing touches, offering viewers a front-row seat to the intricacies of a large-scale renovation.
This Old House airs Thursday, January 2, 2025 at 8:00 PM on PBS.
