A Different Standard of Care

Preserving Legacy Structures

Historic buildings require a different standard of care. Materials are often irreplaceable, assemblies behave differently than modern construction, and the wrong repair approach can permanently damage original fabric.

We are approved Historical Restoration Contractors for NJDEP projects and have completed work on multiple structures listed on the National Historic Register.

Historic Materials & Certified Expertise

The Right Materials Make All the Difference

Modern Portland cement and acrylic paints can trap moisture and destroy soft historic brick and stone. We use breathable, historically accurate materials.

Edison Coatings

Custom-matched, natural cement-based mortars and patching systems for terra cotta, brownstone, and limestone.

Saint-Astier NHL

Natural hydraulic lime mortars match the breathability and compressive strength of original historic masonry.

Keim Mineral Paints

Mineral silicate paints chemically fuse with masonry, providing a breathable finish that resists peeling.

Jahn Restoration Mortars

Certified repairs using formulated, salt-free materials that protect historic masonry and match original profiles.

Core Historic Restoration Capabilities

What We Restore

From delicate brownstone facades to landmark-protected terra cotta, our team brings certified expertise and careful craft to every project.

Masonry & Brownstone

Selective brick replacement, historically accurate repointing, and brownstone repair matched to original profiles.

Structural Stabilization

Lintel replacement, crack repair, and localized stabilization after load paths and substrate conditions are assessed.

Terra Cotta & Stone

Ornamental repair, anchoring, patching, and cleaning that preserve architectural character.

Paint & Stain Removal Technology

Non-Destructive Cleaning Systems

Aggressive cleaning can permanently etch or erode historic surfaces. Our validated systems remove buildup without compromising original material.

  • Farrow System - low-pressure micro-abrasive cleaning for carbon staining and biological growth.
  • Quintek Vortex System - controlled vortex technology for paint removal from complex profiles.
  • Chemical consolidation - penetrating treatments stabilize friable stone before cleaning or repair.
  • Post-clean documentation - full photographic and written record before, during, and after work.
