Heritage Restoration: More Than Just Repair—It’s Preservation with Purpose
Preserving Original Materials
Every heritage project we take on is more than a job—it’s a mission to preserve the original materials, design, and historical integrity that define our shared cultural identity. We don’t just restore buildings. We restore stories.
From Toronto’s sandstone storefronts to red-brick manufacturing plants, we approach each heritage restoration with meticulous planning, stakeholder collaboration, and a clear understanding of heritage preservation principles.
Historical Buildings Reimagined for Modern Function
Transforming historical buildings into functioning commercial spaces requires striking a perfect balance between preserving and enhancing. Our heritage restoration experts ensure your property meets modern safety codes, accessibility standards, and utility needs, all while maintaining its historical significance.
We provide:
- Structural stabilization
- Masonry and stone restoration
- Custom facade preservation
- Interior retrofitting with sensitivity to heritage context
- Hazardous material remediation (asbestos, lead paint, etc.)
Heritage Preservation That Meets Ontario Heritage Act Standards
Impact Restore works closely with city planners, heritage architects, and compliance officers to ensure every restoration aligns with municipal guidelines and the Ontario Heritage Act.
Our team manages every step:
- Permitting and compliance documentation
- Heritage impact assessments
- Coordinating with local conservation authorities
- Maintaining documentation for grants or tax relief
Traditional Craftsmanship with Modern Performance
Bringing modern function to old-world buildings means fusing traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge restoration tools. Our artisans and technicians replicate original design features using time-honored techniques while integrating modern amenities for today’s commercial needs.
Whether we're matching 19th-century brickwork or restoring hand-carved facades, every detail is handled with precision and care.

Is Your Heritage Home Actually a Commercial Property?
Not every heritage home is a residence. Many Toronto heritage properties are zoned for commercial use, especially in central business corridors, historic districts, and institutional settings.
We work exclusively with:
- Commercial property managers
- Industrial facility operators
- Institutional buildings (schools, government sites, religious institutions)
