Why DC Stone Work Is Different

Security clearance. Federal and embassy work requires badge, escort, and after-hours access protocols.
Historic preservation density. DC has more National Register and historic-district properties per capita than most American cities — preservation-grade methodology is table stakes.
Operational continuity. Government buildings, hotels, and museums can’t close for restoration. Overnight phased scheduling is standard.
Multi-material coordination. DC buildings often feature 4-5 materials (marble + stone + terrazzo + metal + wood) needing coordinated restoration — we handle all under one crew.
Discretion. International, government, and diplomatic clients expect confidentiality. No photography of restricted spaces, no promotional sharing.
