Services
We offer a variety of services with the singular goal of providing you with excellence at every step.
As your Partner in Preservation, Nzilani combines museum-quality techniques with real-world experience. We pair your requirements with treatment processes customized to your needs.
Conservation considers an object’s age, provenance (history) and most of all, its current state. The goal is to preserve and stabilize what is left.
Restoration attempts to return an object to its original state and function.
Nzilani creates new work to match existing historic windows or the vision of our clients. We invite you to use your imagination—with in-house master glass painters trained in Europe and extensive knowledge in painted, stained, beveled, fused and mosaic glass, we’ll turn your concept into reality.
We excel at being versatile. Nzilani’s management ability, including the unexpected, will keep your project on task, on time and on budget.
We take care of all the planning from start to finish - working around your personal schedule, presenting to key stakeholders for a long-term capital campaign, or coordinating with other trades to make sure all phases run smoothly.
Our transparent step-by-step process keeps you in the know from removal, through treatment stages to installation.
Every Nzilani project is documented. Depending on need and scope, it can be as simple as a single page report to a 150 page printed book or a professional video documentary.
Our written, photographic and video work adheres to the AIC Code of Ethics as well as the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Preservation. These are key for any project, as a personal legacy document for future generations or a requirement for larger institutions or government projects.
In-house documentation services allow us to reach a wider audience, through professionally produced videos, surveys and treatment reports.
We protect you and your community from lead exposure while conserving your stained glass windows. We are not the cheapest option, but we don’t cut corners and are the industry leaders in safety. Adhering to local and federal safety regulations isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s a good investment. Our entire team’s goal is to ensure you are safe from materials like lead and asbestos while we get to work.
Work on historical buildings and sites may require special documentation. Nzilani provides videography compliant with the guidelines for the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS). We are a Venn Diagram of conservation/restoration specialists + experienced videographers + certified safety workers with construction insurance.
