Additionally, we offer complete facade restoration. All surfaces to be painted are cured, cleaned, and prepped so that they are free from mildew, dirt, dust, or other contaminants that may adversely affect the application and performance of the coatings. Often, in an attempt to modernize the facade, Victorians were stripped of their original moldings and covered by asbestos, shingles or stucco. We offer complete historical renovation of your building to bring it back to its original style.

Victorian Restoration researches architectural archives and similar buildings of that era and can reproduce a similar facade, beginning with detailed drawings and moving on into creating moldings from salvaged or recycled redwood. We can reproduce any facade embellishment or molding to fit your budget.
