When it comes to structures with historic significance, the beauty of stained glass or wood-framed windows and the color of brick and natural stone are important architectural and aesthetic features. Preserving these features and others is critical to maintaining a valuable element of our culture. Unfortunately, as a result of time-related weathering, many of these structures are in need of serious repair.
Preservation and restoration requires a commitment to detail and a dedication to quality craftsmanship. Structural Preservation Systems (SPS) understands these needs and is a complete resource for those entrusted with preservation.
We work closely with owners, architects and conservators to investigate, select and locate products and materials to produce the most historically accurate repair. Additionally, before commencing work, SPS performs mock-ups and tests to ensure that the methods and schedules selected are the optimal solution. Our commitment to the project extends to adherence, as required, to the guidelines for historic structures established by the Secretary of the Interior.
