Historic Building Restoration
Preserving America's Icons
​
For more than two decades, BASE Painters has restored some of the nation’s most significant historic structures from gold-leaf domes to century-old churches and architectural landmarks.
Our mission: preserve the past while protecting it for the next hundred years.
Every historic project demands a balance of craftsmanship, sensitivity, and technical expertise. Our rope-access-trained preservation painters reach delicate, complex areas without scaffolding overload, minimizing impact on fragile structures while keeping projects efficient and cost-effective.
We collaborate closely with owners, architects, and preservation boards to ensure every detail from surface prep to coating selection honors the building’s original character.
When the work requires precision, heritage stewardship, and museum-grade coatings, BASE Painters is the trusted partner for landmark restoration nationwide.

Rope Access: A Smart, Efficient Access Method​
Although we use other means of access where required, rope-access techniques enable us to work safely on structures that are difficult or impractical with traditional methods. This reduces equipment congestion, lowers project cost, and allows operations to continue uninterrupted when possible.
​
With rope-access methods, BASE crews can:
-
Reach vertical, tapered, or obstructed surfaces,
-
Access confined or narrow areas,
-
Navigate complex shapes and elevations,
-
Maintain a minimal site footprint.
-
Reduce or eliminate downtime.
​
Team members are certified in: Rope Access Techniques, protection and rescue, Lift training, Industrial hazard mitigation, Confined-space and elevated-exposure procedures
