BJB Restoration

What BJB Restoration does

BJB Restoration (legal entity BJB Architectural Metal Services, Inc.) is a Louisville, Kentucky-based specialty contractor founded in 1994 that delivers historic masonry, plaster, architectural, window, and building envelope restoration services. The company restores and replaces brick, block, terra cotta, cut stone, natural stone, historic plaster, period-correct wood windows and custom doors, and architectural metals (brass, bronze, copper), and additionally offers waterproofing and joint sealant repair, EIFS/stucco, and marble/terrazzo restoration. An in-house woodshop at the 958 Logan Street headquarters supports from-scratch fabrication of custom wood windows and doors, providing vertical integration for the most technically demanding work and is commercialized through a dedicated sub-brand, Windows by BJB; metal restoration is similarly branded as Metal by BJB.

The company's underlying technology is traditional craft expertise rather than proprietary software or platforms — its differentiation rests on knowledge of period-correct materials and techniques accumulated over 30 years, supported by skilled craftsmen and family-led operations (Dennis Bolton, President; Jeremy Bolton, VP; Nick Bolton, Safety Coordinator). There is no software layer, no API surface, no app, and no AI/ML component referenced in the company's public materials; the competitive moat is human and reputational rather than technological.

BJB operates a project-based, sales-led B2B go-to-market, generating revenue through competitive bidding and direct bid requests from general contractors, architects, institutions, and property owners. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with each project scoped on materials, labor, and complexity. Customer segments span commercial general contractors (subcontractor relationships), churches and religious institutions, universities and schools, municipal and government buildings, and historic residential and commercial property owners. The company serves projects across Kentucky, Florida, Southern Indiana, and the broader Midwest. The ownership is private and family-controlled (Bolton family), with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or public listing plans.
