Historic Preservation

Preserving the original look and feel of a historic building during a reconstruction job requires skill and a willingness to work closely with the owner or property manager to ensure a successful outcome. American Technologies, Inc./American Restoration offers this unique service and has worked on many historical buildings following fire or flood damage. Our goal is to maintain the integrity of the structure as well as the types of building materials used for the period by maximizing the restoration and re-use of existing materials and minimizing the need for replacement.

Historic Reconstruction Guidelines       

When reconstruction of a historic building is required, we use the following guidelines to ensure complete customer satisfaction: 


• If reconstruction of all or a portion of a historic building is required, we will use appropriate documentation and other evidence to ensure the accuracy of the reconstruction.
• We will strive to preserve historic materials, features and spatial relationships during a reconstruction job.  

• We will strive to re-create the appearance of the historic property in materials, design, color and texture.  
• We will not incorporate any designs that were not used originally.
• We will only reconstruct those sections or areas that are essential to the original look and feel of the structure.
• If reconstruction is required in a historic location, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that historical artifacts or features on the grounds are not negatively impacted by the reconstruction.
• We will clearly identify any reconstruction as a contemporary re-creation of the historic structure or property.
