We are a full-service historic preservation company, specializing in historic masonry restoration as well as other media, working in California and the West. Our primary expertise covers all porous architectural materials, both natural and man-made, in both interior and exterior applications. While masonry restoration comprises a large part of our business, we can also perform as a General Contractor for a client's historic preservation project. Kaptive / CGI Preservation is based in Los Angeles, and works all over the state of California and beyond.
We have been restoring historic masonry surfaces, both interior and exterior, for over 35 years, both in the state of California and also in the Western USA. Our extensive experience in bringing old brick, concrete, stone, terra cotta, mosaic, and related materials back to life has garnered a reputation as one of the premier companies in California for this type of work. We have also performed many pre-project surveys and condition reports for building owners, to assist them in preparing for a restoration or adaptive reuse projection.
