It was a true pleasure and an incredible honor to host the 2026 International Preservation Trades Workshop at our facility.

Events like this are so important because they celebrate the skilled trades that help preserve our historic buildings, traditional craftsmanship, and cultural heritage for generations to come.

Just as importantly, they create opportunities to bring people together, share knowledge, learn hands-on skills, and inspire the next generation to become involved in the preservation trades.

Over the course of three days, we had the privilege of learning from talented demonstrators who generously shared their time, experience, and craftsmanship.

A heartfelt thank you to every demonstrator who took the time to teach, demonstrate, answer questions, and pass along skills that are too valuable to lose.

And a very special thank you to all of the volunteers of the Preservation Trades Network Preservation Trades Network. Your countless hours of planning, coordinating, organizing, and supporting this event are what make the workshop possible year after year. Your dedication to education, craftsmanship, and historic preservation is truly appreciated.

We are grateful to everyone who attended, demonstrated, volunteered, and helped make the 2026 workshop such a memorable experience. It was an honor to be part of bringing the preservation trades community together, and we look forward to continuing to learn, teach, and preserve these important skills for years to come.

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of it!

It was a true honor to collaborate with on the window replication of the Morgan-Manning House, a landmark rich in agricultural and historical significance. After a devastating fire destroyed the four cupola windows, this project became an opportunity to help preserve a meaningful piece of local history.

The work required a deep respect for the buildings original craftsmanship, combining traditional techniques with precise attention to detail to ensure historical accuracy. Every element from portions to materials was thoughtfully executed to match the original design while preserving the integrity of the house.

Contributing to the preservation of such an important piece of Brockport’s heritage was both a privilege and a rewarding experience, helping ensure that Morgan-Manning House continues to be appreciated for generations to come.

Safety is the foundation of everything we do and the standard by which all decisions are measured. We are committed to maintaining a work environment where risks are proactively identified, carefully assessed, and effectively managed through rigorous procedures and continuous training.

Every employee is empowered and expected to prioritize safe practices, speak up about potential hazards, and uphold our safety protocols without compromise. By investing in the right equipment, fostering a culture of accountability, and continuously improving our processes, we ensure the well-being of our people, our clients, and the communities we serve. Safety is not just a priority—it is a core value that guides our actions every day.

That’s why every member of our team is EPA lead-certified, ensuring that all work involving lead-based materials is handled with the highest level of care and in full compliance with federal safety standards. This commitment not only protects our employees but also safeguards our clients, their families, and the environment.

At Talis Historic Restoration, safety is more than just a policy, it’s a core value that guides everything we do. We design every task, decision, and process with the safety of our employees, customers, and community in mind.

Training employees in First Aid/CPR and Life-Threatening Bleeding Control is extremely important for a small business because emergencies can happen anywhere, even in a workplace that seems low risk. When staff know how to respond quickly and correctly, they can protect lives, reduce the severity of injuries, and create a safer environment for everyone.
