Cohoes Home Remodeling & Renovation.

Cohoes sits at the confluence of the Mohawk and Hudson rivers — one of the Capital Region's oldest continuously-industrial cities. Harmony Mills, the massive 19th-century cotton mill complex, still dominates the skyline. The city's housing reflects its industrial era: tight rowhouses, workers' cottages, and a handful of larger Victorian homes on the better streets. Remodeling here is about respecting that architecture while making the homes work for modern owners.

The Cohoes housing stock

Cohoes Falls (the city's historic core near the falls themselves) has some of the most architecturally interesting housing — smaller Victorian homes, carriage houses, and converted structures. Van Schaick Island, across the Mohawk, mixes residential with older commercial and has its own distinct neighborhood feel. Harmony Mills and its surrounding streets are where the textile workers lived — dense rows of late-19th-century and early-20th-century workers' housing. The city's edges mix in newer construction and post-war housing.
