Restoration
Restoration work is specialized and lumpy — a facade scaffold drops, a historic masonry phase slips, and skilled hands sit idle between projects. SKILLS lets preservation businesses redistribute that availability: post a Crew Needed or Crew Available listing for historic masonry, wood, facade, window, ornamental, or metal restoration. Structured Coverage Offers with guardrails keep rates fair, and accepting one creates a locked Work Agreement.

Restoration on SKILLS
Can I find crews experienced in historic and preservation work specifically?
Yes. Listings are trade- and sub-trade-specific, so you can post for historic masonry tuckpointing, facade restoration, window or ornamental repair, or bronze and iron metal restoration rather than generic labor. That specificity gets the right skilled crew on a Coverage Offer fast, instead of fielding offers from people who have never touched a landmark building.
How fast can I cover a gap when a restoration phase slips?
Post a Crew Needed listing the moment the gap opens and qualified businesses can send Coverage Offers right away. There is no waiting on a static job board — it is execution-phase coordination. You review structured offers, counter or accept, and lock in a Work Agreement so the crew is committed and accountable for the window you need covered.
How is licensing and insurance handled on preservation jobs?
Each business keeps its COIs, licenses, and certifications in the Compliance Vault, with expiration tracking so coverage never silently lapses mid-project. Verification tiers run Basic, Trusted, then Verified Pro as documents are added — so before you lock in a Work Agreement, you can see the other crew runs a legitimate, insured, credentialed operation.
