About Tom

Tom Kuhn is the Chief Executive Officer of Rose Restoration International, a Fairfax, Virginia-based stone, concrete, terrazzo, and specialty surface restoration company serving the Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia region. Under his leadership, Rose Restoration has built a reputation as the go-to restoration partner for some of the most demanding buildings in the mid-Atlantic — from federal government facilities and historic institutions to luxury hotels and high-end residential properties.

Tom oversees Rose Restoration’s three core business lines:

Residential restoration — kitchen and bathroom stone, fireplace surrounds, entryway floors, and Marble Armor protection across DMV homes.
Commercial and hospitality restoration — hotel lobby and guestroom stone, concrete polishing, metal refinishing, and ongoing maintenance programs.
Government and institutional restoration — historic preservation, museum-grade stone work, federal building restoration, and security-cleared facility work.

Industry experience and approach

Rose Restoration has been delivering stone and surface restoration in the DMV for 40+ years. Tom’s leadership focus has been on three things:

Senior in-house technicians on every project. Rose self-performs primary scopes — no subcontracted labor on the work that matters most. Senior technicians lead every job site.
Conservation-grade methods on historic and high-end work. From 200-year-old limestone fireplace surrounds in Old Town Alexandria to museum-grade marble at the Smithsonian, Tom has built a practice that meets the standards of the most demanding stewards of historic and luxury stone.
Direct accountability. Clients hear back within 2 business hours on any inquiry, and Tom personally signs off on all client communication for residential scheduling — a rarity in the industry at this scale.

Notable past performance under Tom’s leadership

Hospitality: Four Seasons Hotel DC, Salamander Resort & Spa (Middleburg), The Cavalier Hotel & Beach Club (Virginia Beach), Park Hyatt, JW Marriott, Westin, InterContinental, Ritz-Carlton
Government and institutional: International Monetary Fund Headquarters, Smithsonian Institution, National Gallery of Art, Marine Barracks Washington (8th & I), Virginia State Capitol
