Our Work

PROJECTS SHAPED BY HISTORY, PERFORMANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY

Every structure presents its own challenges—age, materials, exposure, and performance demands. GKW Restoration approaches each project with careful evaluation and solutions designed to extend service life while respecting original construction.

Our work spans historic preservation, modern building restoration, and new masonry construction. While the scope varies, the standard remains the same: durable systems, thoughtful execution, and accountability for long-term performance.

RESTORING PERFORMANCE IN ACTIVE STRUCTURES

Modern building restoration focuses on correcting failures, improving performance, and extending the service life of existing structures. These projects address masonry, façades, and envelope systems in buildings that must continue to function safely and efficiently.

Park Hill South High School

During renovations at Park Hill South High School in Riverside, Missouri, GKW Restoration completed critical building envelope upgrades including below-grade waterproofing, air barrier installation, caulking, and expansion joints. The work improved long-term performance and durability while preparing the facility for continued use by students and staff.

BUILDING SYSTEMS DESIGNED FOR LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE

New masonry construction allows systems to be designed with long-term behavior in mind from the outset. GKW Restoration applies its understanding of masonry performance to deliver durable, well-integrated masonry systems for new structures.
