Restoring the Past — The Art and Precision of Architectural Restoration
Restoration is more than repair — it’s a dialogue between history and innovation.
In a city like New York, every façade, molding, and column tells a story. At Giraldo AEC Solutions, we see restoration as both a responsibility and an art: to preserve heritage while enhancing performance for modern use.
Preserving Craftsmanship with Modern Tools
Traditional craftsmanship remains the foundation of quality restoration.
However, today’s architects and fabricators combine that expertise with digital scanning, advanced materials, and precision fabrication to reproduce details with historical accuracy.
From copper façades to decorative metalwork and architectural glass, each element is engineered to match the original design while meeting current standards for safety and efficiency.
Challenges of Restoring Historic Architecture
Working with historic buildings requires balancing authenticity and innovation.
- How do we replicate materials that no longer exist?
- How do we modernize structures without compromising character?
Through years of experience, our team has learned to blend old-world craftsmanship with modern fabrication techniques — ensuring each restoration honors the past while meeting today’s technical demands.
