Preserving the Architectural Treasures of New Orleans

Many of New Orleans’ historic structures experience the ravages of time and climate impacts. Since 1840, Abry Brothers has been a part of keeping these unique edifices standing so that the stories they hold continue being told. In our 7th generation, we do so with the latest, state-of-the-art methods and equipment.

When restorations are made, Abry Brothers delicately and intricately supports these buildings. Vertical and horizontal bracing is used to shore a building and prevent collapse. Through the years, we’ve developed pioneering methods of shoring
and learned pitfalls to avoid.

Commercial projects can include removing or changing rotted wood structural members or failing rusted structural members with new steel beams. Once the project is closed up, you may not notice the work, but it is now prevented from future structural failure.

Many of our famous New Orleans structures are located in the French Quarter and are very old and the ground is unstable or the original structural members are also deteriorating.

The Importance of Shoring a Structure

Historical buildings in New Orleans are delicate. When renovations are made, there is the likelihood of collapse, which is both dangerous and expensive. Shoring allows facades to remain intact while interior redesigns, repairs, and replacements are made.
