Introducing the Independents' Collaborative

"The Path" by John La Farge, Houghton Chapel, Wellesley College. Restored by Serpentino Stained Glass

A group of high-quality, established, specialty companies working in the restoration industry, these companies have worked on some of the country's most prestigious historic properties.

By combining the specialties of decorative paint, metal, stone, terracotta, and stained glass with the support systems needed to access them, the Independents' Collaborative offers prospective clients a new way of approaching projects. Most restoration projects require multiple disciplines and these complementary firms work especially well together. However, each company maintains its independence and is free to work as a part of any team, at any time.

What sets IC apart from multi-discipline firms is that clients get to work with the leading experts in each discipline. Clients also get accountability from each firm because reputations rely on individual performance. Each IC company has built a reputation for high-quality work while striving to be competitive in the marketplace - both in pricing and scheduling - proving that you can have quality, price, and delivery at the same time.
