SOCOTEC offers Historic Preservation and Restoration services that meet national standards, using durable, historically accurate materials to restore with authenticity and care. Our Preservation Architects bring deep expertise in historic building restoration by collaborating closely with local and national historical commissions.

Restoration Specialists in Historic Buildings 

We ensure that every preservation and restoration project strictly follows the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Historic Preservation, maintaining authenticity while safeguarding structural integrity.

Our team has extensive experience working across a wide variety of construction styles and materials. From stone and masonry to slate, wood, terra-cotta, bronze, and wrought iron, we understand the unique challenges posed by each material and historic style. Through thoughtful selection of replacement materials, SOCOTEC ensures that restorations closely match the original design while requiring minimal maintenance. This approach guarantees buildings retain their historic character, appearing naturally aged yet carefully preserved for the future.
