HistoricSpecs

Building Arts & Conservation specializes in cleaning, analyzing and stabilizing historic materials. Working from archival sources, material evidence, and a working knowledge of past skilled trades, our company assists clients in interpreting historic building materials. BA&C carries out the investigation, analysis and interpretation of buildings, as well as their hands-on restoration and conservation. Many of BAC’s projects include the exposure, stabilization and repair of damaged, lost or over-painted decoration. Our company has over twenty years of experience in the field of architectural conservation, and our skilled craftsmen meticulously conserve and reinstate historic plaster, wood, paint, gold leaf, glazes, stencils, and metal finishes. Following the tenets of the American Institute for Conservation, our goal is to preserve the patina and significance embedded in our architectural traditions.
