Repair and preservation carried out to Department of the Interior and State Historic Preservation Office standards.
Restoration and preservation are two different jobs, and most older buildings need some of each. Restoration brings a damaged structure back: repointing joints, replacing failed brick and stone, rebuilding sections that have come apart. Preservation is about holding the line, cleaning, protective coatings, and small repairs that stop decay before it spreads.
Both call for knowing how the building was put together in the first place. We match original materials and methods and work to the standards set by the Department of the Interior and the State Historic Preservation Offices, so the repair protects the history in the wall instead of erasing it.
Tell us what you are seeing and we will take a look. The owner does the estimates, and you get a straight read on what the job needs.
