Scope

Historic and storefront restoration in the Southern Tier.

Historic restoration on commercial blocks and mixed-use buildings. Façade restoration including brick repair and tuckpointing, copper flashing on cornices, original storefront recovery (wood-trimmed display windows, transom glass, recessed entries, brass kick plates), tin-ceiling preservation, and hardwood floor refinishing. Documented work includes the façade restoration at 8 Main Street, Binghamton, and the full historic-look restoration of the Central Business District building at 246 Main Street, Johnson City. Slate and standing-seam metal roofing, a rare specialty in the Southern Tier, pairs naturally with this service line.

Frequently asked

About historic restoration.

Do you preserve original historic features during gut renovations?
Yes. Where original tin ceilings, hardwood floors, brick walls, or storefront character are still salvageable, they are preserved. The 246 Main Street, Johnson City scope is explicitly a "full gut and return to its historic look" project.
Can you do brick repair, tuckpointing, and cornice restoration?
Yes. Historic façade work, brick repair, tuckpointing, copper flashing on cornices, and original storefront detail recovery, is a regular scope on the downtown Binghamton corridor projects.
Do you do slate and standing-seam metal roofing?
Yes. Both are specialty trades for the company, rare in the Southern Tier and a frequent scope on 19th-century brick buildings.
