Concrete Restoration

Historic building veneers can be made of many different materials and one that tends to get less attention than its more glamorous cousins is board-formed cast-in-place concrete. With the advent of reliable and commerically available hydraulic cements in the late19th century, this versatile material came to be used for much more than simple structural needs. The following gallery depicts concrete restoration and repair projects that we have completed in this lesser-known historic medium.
