Historic preservation is the careful process of preserving, conserving, and protecting buildings and their historically significant components. Our work applies to both designated landmarks and structures over 50 years old, helping maintain their architectural integrity while adapting them for continued use.
Since our founding in 1953, we have partnered with owners, architects, builders, and government agencies to preserve and enhance buildings of all types, sizes, and uses. Our team has deep expertise in material diagnostics, structural systems, and preservation planning, allowing us to develop tailored solutions for the unique challenges of historic structures.
Collaboration is at the heart of our approach. Our architectural and structural teams work closely to balance cost-effectiveness and historical sensitivity, delivering solutions that respect the past while supporting future functionality.
Evaluating the building envelope and structural systems to identify deterioration and potential risks.
Analyzing historic materials using advanced testing methods to determine stability and repair needs.
Using computer modeling to assess structural integrity and identify necessary reinforcements.
Developing solutions to protect and support vulnerable structures during construction or repair.
Crafting comprehensive plans to guide preservation efforts while maintaining historical integrity.
Preparing detailed construction documents and overseeing project execution.
Assisting with approvals and reviews required by local and national preservation agencies.
By combining technical expertise with a deep respect for architectural heritage, K&H helps historic buildings remain functional, safe, and true to their original character. Contact us today to learn how our preservation services can support your project.
