Blake Contracting

Blake Contracting restores historic buildings, with a focus on wood, steel and aluminum window restoration and glazing that it has done for more than fifteen years. The crew also handles lead paint and asbestos abatement, demolition and general contracting for commercial general contractors and residential clients. Historic windows usually contain asbestos or lead paint, so the abatement work is handled under the regulatory rules that apply.

Blake can take on several trades on one job, including hazard abatement, demolition, windows and restoration, so a client can work with a single subcontractor. Projects range from a few thousand dollars to more than a million. The company is based in Richmond and serves clients across Virginia.
