At Jos. Schmitt. Construction Co., historical restoration isn’t just a job—it’s a passion. We believe that future generations deserve the opportunity to admire the beauty of historic properties. That’s why we’re committed to the art of preserving old buildings from times gone by. We breathe new life into structures, restoring, renovating, and repurposing them in a way that maintains authenticity.
Whether it’s saving intricate woodwork, refurbishing plaster, or revitalizing original flooring, there’s no limit to what we can make happen. Our talented in-house team is knowledgeable about the intricacies of working with aged materials and will provide high-quality results that always honor the building’s character. This respect for original craftsmanship has earned us the reputation of Sheboygan’s most trusted historical restoration company. Let’s begin exploring what’s possible for your historical property.

When you contract us for your restoration project, we’ll take the time to learn the history and cultural significance of your building. We’ll then identify what changes or additions need to be made, and how we can execute them in a way that stays true to the original architecture. From there, we’ll begin the preservation and protection of your property.
We are dedicated to preserving historic properties in order to save parts of the past that can’t be replicated. Because of this, we promise that every restoration project will be completed with precision, care, and close attention to original details.
Although we prioritize preservation above all else, it is still important for historical properties to have some modern functionalities. We incorporate present-day elements, such as new energy systems or insulation, in a way that doesn’t interfere with accuracy.
Our skilled team of contractors has been thoroughly educated and trained on how to work with aged materials. They’ll know how to make repairs, installations, or replacements that seamlessly blend with the original historic elements of the structure.
We’ve worked on countless projects around Sheboygan, the most notable being the restoration of the Stefanie H. Weill Center, a performing arts center built in 1928. The building was returned to its former glory, with the added benefit of new electrical, HVAC, and dressing rooms.
Adaptive reuse involves repurposing an already existing building for a new use while still preserving its original historical and architectural features. It allows our projects to get a new life, without forgetting their first one in the process.
At Jos. Schmitt Construction Co., we pride ourselves on our commitment to long-lasting, quality construction. Your historical building has likely already been standing for nearly a 100 years—after we work on it, we want it to be still standing after 100 more!
