Learn more about Brett Waterman

Brett Waterman has been preserving and restoring historic buildings around the United States for over 25 years. His clients have included numerous homeowners of historic homes who appreciate his holistic approach—even down to reversing entire brick walls to show off their preserved side. Waterman also consults for commercial and public building preservation and restoration. Some of his residential restoration work has been featured on the television show he hosts, Restored.

Waterman said his professional experience caused him to develop an appreciation for the lasting work of craftspeople who moved to the Americas over the last few centuries: “I’m learning from those before me and they’re still teaching me, because I’m pulling apart what they put together two or three hundred years ago.”
