Preservation Works Ltd.
Our name suggests preservation works as a system of principles by which buildings can be restored to prolong their useful life.
Over the last 16 years in the trade of historic masonry restoration, we have grown our business in organic ways. We have always focused exclusively on traditional & natural materials, but we now use them in a variety of other ways in both new & old construction.
We have expanded the business to offer decorative ornamental & molding plaster in the classical tradition for indoor applications with integrated color. We work with experienced ornamental plasterers, architects & designers to create something new but timeless. Reach out today to discuss a project you have in mind - www.preservationworks.us
