Historic buildings need to be treated with care by knowledgeable craftspersons, restoring them in a way that is consistent with their original construction. We provide education, advocacy, and time-honored craftsmanship to help restore our nation's historic places and to revitalize our community.
Specialties
Preservation Works Ltd. specializes in the preservation and restoration of historic masonry buildings. Sustaining our architectural heritage is of the utmost importance to us. Using our knowledge of traditional masonry construction to repair older buildings, we are insuring that the buildings we work on are restored accurately and beautifully for durability and longevity. Likewise, we extend this commitment to doing things the traditional (old world) way to our contemporary construction interests including decorative lime and clay plasters, plaster repair, interior and exterior lime stucco, mineral and lime paints, stains and lime washes. These materials have low embodied energy (energy used in manufacturing, transportation and eventual disposal) to create beautiful and unique decorative finishes which are natural, timeless, durable, repairable and nontoxic to all of us.
