Making History (and Preserving It)
Throughout the country, many downtown areas from large cities to small towns proudly honor the historic nature of their communities. The residents and leaders of these cities and towns are often committed to preserving the unique stories and experiences that have carried these places and people through the decades. The most visual representation of these histories is in the design and construction of their buildings. From municipal halls to residential buildings to theaters, these structures reflect the character and pride of a town through their aesthetic qualities and unique stories.
While the sights of these historic buildings are often appealing and fascinating to residents and visitors alike, the years of wear and tear, weather, and simply age, tend to make their impact. They can cause structural weaknesses, deteriorate the façades and even create safety concerns.
When the time comes to restore these buildings, it is vital to trust an experienced historic restoration contractor who understands the importance of preserving these iconic structures and has the experience and capabilities to revitalize their charm. Whether providing routine maintenance to a building still in use or seeking to restore an abandoned or neglected building to its original condition, these buildings are often delicate and require specific strategies, tools and materials to restore them to their original glory.
Typical historic renovation projects include:
Brick repair, replacement and pointing
Terra cotta repairs and patching
Stone or mortar replacement
Precast façade coating, clips and joints
Metal-to-glass and glass-to-glass joints (wet glazing)
Sealing of windows and expansion joints
Exterior coatings including sealers, elastomeric and acrylic coatings
