What Graciano Corporation does

Graciano Corporation is a privately held, family-owned masonry and concrete restoration firm founded in 1916 and headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with regional offices in New York and New Jersey. The company specializes in the restoration, preservation, repair, and beautification of brick, stone, stucco, tile, terra cotta, terrazzo, and concrete installations across historic landmarks, commercial buildings, residential properties, and transportation infrastructure. Its service portfolio spans five divisions — Masonry Restoration, Historic Restoration, Residential, Concrete Restoration, and New Masonry — with specialized offerings including Guastavino tile vault restoration, tuck pointing, waterproofing, urethane/epoxy injection, terra cotta replacement, shotcrete, and filtered water saturation cleaning (a method approved by the New York City Landmarks Commission).

Technical capabilities center on craftsmanship-intensive techniques rather than digital or automated systems. Notable technical assets include the first-ever rebuilding of Guastavino vaults at the Queensboro Bridge, restoration of the Oyster Bar tile ceiling at Grand Central Terminal, over 2.5 million square feet of facade restoration at Rockefeller Center, and Georgia marble dome restoration at the Rhode Island State House. The company adheres to Department of Interior Standards for Historic Preservation, maintains OSHA and MSHA compliance with a full-time Safety Officer, and holds WBENC Women's Business Enterprise certification.

Graciano generates revenue through project-based professional services under a custom quote-based pricing model, with free estimates offered to prospective customers. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting building owners, government agencies, cultural institutions, and commercial property owners, with projects typically secured through competitive bidding, architect specifications, or conservation consultant referrals. The workforce is anchored by fourth-generation masons and craftworkers, and a formal internship program is in place to replenish skilled trade capacity.
