Quality, Integrity, Trust
Atmospheric staining can really detract from a building’s exterior beauty. A light tone can go all the way to a black look, but KC Restoration can provide many deep cleaning options that return your property to an inviting appearance. Check out these photos of just a few of our projects.

This summer’s Art in the Loop Project is about to begin its 5-month run in Downtown Kansas City. Tomorrow, 6pm, at the Central Public Library, the 15 artists of the annual outdoor exhibition will be featured as well as the participants in the Streetcar Sounds Summer Music Series. Dancers Tristian Griffin and James “SugEasy” Singleton will show off their hip-hop and contemporary dance “When Two Worlds Meet.” Want to get a sneak peek at some of the great artwork? Check them out at https://www.artintheloop.com/. With KC Restoration’s work in metal, we were particularly drawn to John Hachmeister’s “We Remember/We Forget” piece that will be at Washington Square Park. The exterior monuments of the structure, made from bonded Kaw River sand, will slowly dissolve in the rain, to reveal an inner column of steel fabricated books.
KC Restoration’s technicians recently added a first to their list of experiences: coating a rhino! Lucky for them that this one was a statue marking the entrance to Science City’s Nature Center and not the real thing. The large replica rhino was removed from his perch to get a darker gray metallic coating that stands out against the updated lighter gray coating applied to the steel platform, arch, and surrounding base. On your next visit to the museum in Union Station, be sure to take a look up at this great-looking rhino and stop by to see the Nature Center’s diverse group of animals or catch one of the fascinating Educator Chats featuring one of the animals.
Have you found that favorite look you want to emulate in your own space from all the great homes at this year’s Spring Parade of Homes? We saw some great metal accent doors, rails, and pieces created by some talented metal fabricators. We’re lucky to work with these local artisans to put custom finishing touches and patina on their pieces that are nothing short of artwork.
These two pieces crafted by Metal One for a Prairie Village residence and a Loose Park area home feature hot and cold rolled steel formed into fireplace panels of grandeur and the elegant curves of handrail tops and spindle posts. Metal One partnered with KC Restoration to finish off the beautiful pieces with a darkened patina and satin finish clear coat. Both projects to be proud of!
