Heritage Building
Restoration in Lebanon

Some buildings deserve to outlive us. We restore traditional Lebanese houses, churches, and historic properties — preserving what matters while making them livable again.

Traditional Lebanese House Restoration

GEM Corporate restores traditional Lebanese houses, Ottoman-era buildings, and historic properties across Mount Lebanon, Jbeil, Batroun, and Beirut. Our restoration team works with historical consultants to preserve architectural authenticity while integrating modern infrastructure — HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and structural reinforcement — invisibly.

We restore stone masonry, decorative plasterwork, triple-arch windows, traditional wooden joinery, ornamental ironwork, painted ceilings, and period-appropriate finishes — using techniques and materials true to the original construction.

What We Restore

Traditional Houses — Lebanese mountain houses with triple-arch facades, central halls, and vaulted ceilings.

Ecclesiastical Buildings — Churches, monasteries, and parish halls. Structural reinforcement, interior restoration, and liturgical furniture.

Ottoman & Colonial — Period buildings in Beirut, Tripoli, and Sidon requiring sensitive structural intervention.

Specialty

Roof Tile & Stone Masonry Restoration

Traditional Lebanese clay roof tiles (qarmid) deteriorate under decades of weather exposure. GEM Corporate replaces damaged tiles with authentic clay reproductions, repairs underlying timber structures, and installs modern waterproofing membranes beneath the traditional tile layer — preserving the appearance while extending the roof's lifespan by decades.

Our stone masonry restoration covers limestone wall repair, repointing, structural crack injection, and surface cleaning using methods that protect the original stone character.

Stained Glass & Ironwork — We restore original stained glass panels, wrought iron railings, and decorative metalwork using traditional techniques with modern structural backing.

Ecclesiastical

Church & Monastery Restoration

GEM Corporate has a documented history of ecclesiastical construction and restoration. From parish halls to full monastery complexes, we understand the unique requirements — structural loads from bell towers, acoustic considerations, liturgical space planning, and the preservation of religious artwork and iconography.
