Crews train directly on the materials, walls, and environments they will later restore — under the guidance of internationally recognized preservation experts with over 40 years of project experience.
Mistakes are corrected on the spot, preventing costly errors later. This approach reduces risk by catching issues early and retraining contractors when necessary — before large-scale restoration begins.
Training addresses the exact scope, standards, and challenges of your site — ensuring specification compliance and long-term project success.
Masons leave not just trained, but certified to meet project-specific workmanship standards. This provides certification and quality benchmarks that safeguard your investment.
Each training program is led by Mario Machnicki — founder and president of U.S. Heritage Group and Marion Restoration — bringing over 40 years of experience and more than 1,000 heritage projects completed across North America.
Recognized internationally as a leader in historic masonry conservation, Mario serves on ASTM committees and contributes to the International Building Limes Forum and ICOMOS, advancing global preservation standards.
Ensure your project meets the highest preservation standards with guidance from US Heritage experts.
Our on-site training and consulting services help contractors and preservation professionals execute restoration work with precision, authenticity, and full compliance to specifications.
