To restore a building is somewhat different from repairing a building, in that,
to restore refers to return the interior and exterior appearance to a particular date or time period.
wherein to repair it may not necessarily do so.
For example , a damaged wall originally made from clay bricks may be repaired with concrete blocks but restored only with clay bricks.
To rehabilitate a house means to make it useful and functional for contemporary living while preserving important historic and architectural features. For example,
a rehabilitated old house would always include modern electrical, mechanical, and plumbing systems, a modern kitchen, and other attributes typical of present-day homes.

Factors affecting Restoration
- Review the house’s history. Who lived in the house and when? Did important events occur there? Did either (or both) scenarios have historical significance? If so, you could consider restoring the house to that period to help interpret its history.
- Integrate modern touches with care and caution. The key to a quality rehabilitation is how well it accommodates modern technologies and living styles. Keep changes non-intrusive and compatible with the house’s design and style, and don’t let alterations destroy or cover historically or architecturally significant features or materials.
- Design new additions and alterations with attention to detail. When adding to or altering your home, consider its scale (apparent size), actual dimension, and massing (proportion/balance). Use materials, textures, and colors similar to those of the original building.
- Evaluate existing alterations. Consider the quality, design, materials, and craftsmanship of the original house as well as the changes that have occurred over time. Compatible interior and exterior changes of the same or better quality than the original house, even if done in different styles or materials, should probably be kept and restored.
