What Steps are involved in Historical Restorations?

Due to the building’s role in history, one can’t just approach restoration projects normally. Therefore, you must ask the service provider about their processes when working on sensitive projects like historic structural restoration. Their procedures should involve all of the following steps to guarantee a successful result:

Extensive Research. This step is vital when restoring a historic building. Aside from possessing the right skills, contractors should also know the site’s background to understand why it holds importance. Preparation for the job must include reading archived documents and examining old structure photographs to uncover relevant information.

Analysis. Laboratory testing is performed to determine the structure’s material content, including tests for the presence of lead. This is essential in determining the appropriate materials and treatments to apply. Non-destructive surface analysis is also conducted at the site, using portable equipment to test for the presence of chemicals without endangering the monument’s structural integrity.

Structural Examination. This is performed to locate holes or cracks leading to water seepage and degradation. The corrosion rate is measured through patina samples extracted from various areas of the historic structure. These tests allow the contractor to determine the appropriate materials for the project and what procedures must be performed on-site.

Paint Selection. Once the proper coatings are identified, the restoration process begins.
