Restoration

Building restoration is a specialized discipline that requires a unique blend of historical knowledge, structural engineering expertise, and traditional craftsmanship. At Dollar Contracting, our restoration division is dedicated to bringing aging, damaged, and historically significant structures back to their original grandeur while incorporating modern structural standards and building technologies where appropriate.

Our team has extensive experience working with heritage preservation commissions, historical societies, and building departments to navigate the regulatory requirements that govern restoration work. We understand the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and apply these principles to every historic project, ensuring that original materials, architectural details, and character-defining features are preserved whenever possible. When original materials cannot be salvaged, we source period-appropriate replacements or commission custom reproductions that faithfully match the original in material, profile, texture, and finish.

Beyond historic preservation, we provide comprehensive restoration services for buildings damaged by water intrusion, fire, storms, and structural settlement. Our approach begins with a thorough forensic assessment to identify the root cause of deterioration, followed by a systematic restoration plan that addresses both the symptoms and underlying conditions. Whether you are restoring a century-old brownstone, rehabilitating a fire-damaged commercial building, or weatherproofing an aging facade, our restoration team has the skills and sensitivity to deliver exceptional results.
