Testimonials
We had the great opportunity of working with Schnell on the adaptive re-use of the historic Fayette County Courthouse. Given the iconic nature of this building, we needed to have a company that could provide the highest level of conservation, repair, cleaning and artisan level stonework capability. In addition, all work had to conform to the Secretary of Interior's Standards for Historic Preservation since we utilized both federal and state historic tax credits. Schnell performed an excellent job and meticulously addressed every detail, including chemical analysis to determine the mortar composition in order to ensure the color, texture, strength and durability were not only appropriate but also consistent with the original material. They did the same with the careful cleaning of the limestone. The ultimate result of their efforts has produced a sparkling renaissance of this exemplary building which has now returned to its epicenter as the focal point of Lexington, Kentucky.”
