Historical Restoration

Historical restoration or preservation is an endeavour that seeks to preserve, conserve and protect buildings, objects, landscapes or other artifacts of historical significance.

Lepi Enterprises will help you choose an appropriate treatment for your historic building or landscape by utilizing one or more of the following steps:

• Preservation focuses on the maintenance and repair of existing historic materials and retention of a property's form as it has evolved over time.
• Rehabilitation acknowledges the need to alter or add to a historic property to meet continuing or changing uses while retaining the property's historic character.
• Restoration depicts a property at a particular period of time in its history, while removing evidence of other periods.
• Reconstruction re-creates vanished or non-surviving portions of a property for interpretive purposes.

The choice of treatment depends on a variety of factors, including the property's historical significance, physical condition, proposed use, and intended interpretation. Lepi Enterprises will take great care in restoring your historic property while also taking into account environmental hazards that may be present. Abatement of lead paint and asbestos within historic buildings requires particular care if important historic finishes are not to be adversely affected and all local, state and federal guidelines will be followed during this process.
