Our comprehensive approach to your building offers you thoughtful, historically accurate and appropriately contemporary craftsmanship while respecting your budget. When you choose HRI you're investing in work that will last, function, and look great for years to come.

Kitchens and bathrooms are the most remodeled rooms in the house. Changes in use, styles, taste, fads, and technology makes these spaces old, outdated, and worn. Heritage Restoration can design the perfect space that considers use, budget, and style. We use state of the art design tools, customizing your space with the right products and craftsmanship to meet your needs.

Doors are extensively used. They divide rooms, seal off inclement weather, and keep us safe. They're designed to work flawlessly, although over time movement, use, and environment negatively impact their functionality. Heritage Restoration understands how frustrating malfunctioning doors can be, and we can fine-tune, repair, restore, weather strip, or replace your doors with the greatest of care.

Windows contribute more to the architectural character of your building than any other building element. Heritage Restoration has been in the Rhode Island window fabrication, repair, and restoration business for over 25 years, and continues to revitalize historic windows throughout New England. A historic building with its original sashes and glass retains a higher degree of architectural integrity than a comparable structure where the sashes have been replaced. Historic Windows are repairable, well built, and environmentally sustainable.

Proper exterior upgrades, care, repair, and replacement guarantees your building will last for generations. The exterior of a building provides character and protection. Heritage Restoration provides a full spectrum of exterior services ranging from assessments to full replacement of trim, porches, and any type of siding including clapboards, flush board, shingles, and masonry. Properly sided buildings, with well-orchestrated drainage planes and carefully placed flashing, can last for a century or more.

New England has one of the most challenging weather environments in the country. On any given day, a roof can be 100 degrees on one side and -20 on the other. Water is the most destructive element to a house. Roofing, flashing and gutters are your greatest protection from the elements. At Heritage Restoration, Inc. we make roofs work right. Our staff and properly vetted subcontractors can provide you with a functional, durable, and attractive roof system.

Proper masonry treatments are essential to a building's health. Masonry buildings have an inherent stability and durability, although improper masonry techniques can quickly compromise aesthetics and longevity. Traditional buildings require special care, especially when they used lime mortars, one of the oldest building materials in existence. Lime is an environmentally responsible product that is extremely versatile and valued for its flexibility and breath- ability. Heritage Restoration has extensive experience in finding appropriate materials, treating and caring for your masonry building, while respecting its character and supporting its ability to last for centuries.

Heritage Restoration Inc. is dedicated to maintaining our built environment. We are equally committed to making buildings energy efficient through installing energy panels (storm windows), proper insulation techniques, air sealing and other state of the art diagnostic testing methods. The challenge is properly making existing buildings sustainable and energy efficient. To this end, HRI provides building condition assessment, air infiltration analysis and air sealing, insulation feasibility, as well as other analysis services.
