The Washington DC area holds some of the country’s finest architectural metalwork, in landmark buildings, historic rowhomes, embassies, and institutional lobbies. Restoring it well takes a conservation mindset, not just polish, and that is the work Rose Restoration has done across the region since 1978.
What Architectural Metal Restoration Involves
Architectural metal is often mixed, brass, bronze, stainless, aluminum, and iron in the same railing, entrance, or facade. Each behaves differently, so each is refinished correctly within the assembly. We strip failed coatings, address corrosion and damage, and refinish to the original specification while preserving as much original material as possible.
Where It Shows Up
- Ornamental railings, balustrades, and gates
- Building entrances, storefronts, and facade metal
- Lobby and elevator surrounds
- Decorative grilles, screens, and historic trim
Built for Historic and Commercial Work
Landmark and institutional metal demands preservation standards, phased and after-hours scheduling, and full insurance with certificates on file. Our crews work this way as a matter of course, keeping occupied buildings presentable throughout.
