Hastings Restoration

What Hastings Restoration does

Hastings Restoration provides architectural restoration, preservation, and preventive maintenance services for metal, stone, and wood surfaces in commercial buildings. Founded in 1987 in the Washington D.C. metro area, the firm serves property managers, building owners, and facility operators across six verticals — commercial office, education and institutional, hospitality, residential, construction, and retail — with a geographic footprint concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic region (Virginia, Maryland, Washington D.C., and New York). Core service lines cover metal (aluminum, bronze, stainless steel, ornamental, elevator cab interiors, faux finishes, gold leafing, patina), stone (granite, limestone, travertine, terrazzo, marble, fountains, facades), and wood (millwork, furniture, exterior refinishing, LEED-compliant coatings). A Preventive Maintenance Program provides scheduled recurring touch-ups, inspections, and annual reviews under predictable monthly contracts, while specialty add-ons include concrete polishing (launched January 2018), glass restoration, and high-performance painting. The Center of Service Excellence framework, apprenticeship-style training branded 'Hastings University,' and GS-42 and LEED AP certifications are positioned as operational differentiators.

Hastings operates a B2B professional services model combining project-based revenue (one-time restoration jobs scoped to surface area and material) with subscription-style recurring revenue from preventive maintenance contracts. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales through account managers and business development associates, with a single dedicated point of contact per account and a multi-layered staffing model. Marketing relies on content (website articles and case studies), email newsletter, community events, and direct quote requests rather than paid digital channels or marketplaces.

The company is a subsidiary of Building Maintenance Services (BMS), a division of Vornado Realty Trust (NYSE: VNO). Leadership includes Mike Doherty (President & CEO of BMS), Joel Birner (EVP Mid-Atlantic since 2011), Bill Brandt (VP of Hastings since 2023), and Craig Salewski (VP). BMS manages more than 2,800 employees across janitorial, security, restoration, and window cleaning operations; Hastings-specific headcount is not publicly disclosed.
