And not only roofs and facades, here are jutting roofs of wells, granaries, corn-racks, sacral structures, mountain cottages and other structures of invaluable cultural and architectural value, damaged by the tie of time and need to be renovated and protected with the new image.

And, here we are, in scope to find and offer the right solutions for replacing the aged traditional one, so we could preserve the characteristics and identity of places and landscapes together with the branch of profession ...
