Building in New England means working within an established architectural and cultural context. Preserving history while creating spaces that support a growing economy requires meticulous attention paid to craftsmanship as well as the technical specifications.
RP Masiello has extensive experience preserving and renovating historic structures, including buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Our approach maintains a structure's historic public face while upgrading its core systems, mechanical, electrical, and structural, to meet tenant requirements, building standards, and new energy requirements.
Why It Matters
Heritage
Historic buildings are physical records of the industries and communities that built New England. If demolished, that record of history is lost in its physical form.
Sustainability
The most sustainable building is often the one already standing. Choosing to adapt and preserve a structure often avoids the material waste and unnecessary footprint of new construction.
Regional Legacy
New England's identity lives through its industrial buildings and institutional centers. Preserving structures anchors the revitalization of an entire community.
Company Legacy
RP Masiello’s roots trace back to Italian stone masons & craftsmen from the early 1900’s. Fifty years later, our foothold in craftsmanship still shapes how we approach every historic project.
