RETROCHEM Inc, established in 2005 and based in Kansas City, is a leader in architectural preservation and restoration services. Initially started as an installation contractor and distributor of urethane coatings for the hospitality industry, the company quickly evolved by engaging with facility managers and expanding its service offerings to include the restoration of tile, stone, and other hard surfaces. Over the years, RETROCHEM has built a solid reputation for its innovative solutions in restoration and preservation, particularly in historical contexts.
The company gained significant traction in 2011 by utilizing proprietary systems that supported both contemporary and historic flooring projects, garnering a rapidly growing client base of general contractors and facility managers.
A testament to their expertise, RETROCHEM is a four-time recipient of the HKC Foundation Excellence Award for Outstanding Work by a Craftsperson. This recognition underlines the firm's commitment to quality and excellence in craftsmanship—a core aspect that the team prides itself on. The technicians specialize in highly detailed work essential for maintaining the integrity of historical buildings, ensuring preservation while meeting modern requirements and regulations.
In 2018, RETROCHEM acquired Plasterkraft, enhancing its service portfolio further and resulting in the establishment of distinct divisions that cater to specific client needs. These divisions offer an extensive range of services, including exploration investigations, historical fixture rescue, surface repairs, restoration, and customized maintenance plans that cater to commercial properties. Through these specialized offerings, RETROCHEM not only seeks to restore aesthetics and functionality but also to protect the structural and historical significance of properties across Kansas and Missouri. With a focus on sustainable and cost-effective solutions, RETROCHEM continues to elevate the first impression of commercial spaces while championing the art of architectural preservation.
