A small, independent architectural conservation firm serving owners, curators and architects on historic landmark buildings. Richbrook Conservation consults on the materials aspects related to restoration, preservation, or conservation of historic buildings, with specialized
experience in painted surfaces. We provide conditions assessments, investigations, analyses, research, development and testi

ng of treatment processes
as well as documentation and ongoing oversight through implementation. Our approach is based on the collaborative spirit, engaging specialized
conservators, craftspeople, artisans, and contractors who are likewise committed to traditional craft, sound practice, high standards, creative
problem-solving, and to the project goal. As each project site has a unique history, materials, conditions and deterioration patterns, all tasks and tests are custom-designed to meet the goal of each
project. Richbrook Conservation aims to understand these variable factors, define the criteria for successful treatment or intervention, and design the best
solution.
