The Durable Restoration Company performs complete exterior restoration work on all types of older buildings, including residences, commercial and institutional buildings, and liturgical structures. Our company employs artisans who are experts in more than twenty traditional, old-world crafts.

 Our specialty contracting work may utilize just one or two of these crafts or combine as many as required, depending on the needs of the building and building owner. General contracting work includes complete building restoration, historic building rehabilitation, reconstruction, and adaptive reuse.

Durable is experienced in working from architects’ plans as well as on a design/build basis. We also offer consultation, assessment and project management services.
