Blackburn Building Conservation, LLC has been preserving historic decoration, finishes, and works of art since 1936. All too often, original finishes are removed and replicated, rather than being repaired and conserved. In the case of decorative finishes, this approach sacrifices the original period, artistic style and intent, and substitutes a 21st Century imitation.
We are pleased to serve museum, civic, institutional, architectural, contracting and private clients throughout Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, New York and the Mid-Atlantic states.
