The Hotel Del Coronado as it was in the 1940s.

In addition, Pioneer has completed work for Purdue University at Stewart Hall, In Kokomo, Indiana we have completed work for the Masonic Lodge and completed gold leafing and plaster restoration inside St. Elizabeth Hospital in Lafayette, Indiana.

There are about four major firms in Central Indiana doing this work which we bid against... and there are others that just slap paint over brick. To do a job properly, it must be done by professional restorers.

We have a good example of Pioneer's gold leafing and plaster work inside the St. Elizabeth Hospital in Lafayette where we also performed plaster work in 1990.

The Hotel Del Coronado as it is today.

We do a number of school and business repairs on damages caused by the weather... frozen cement, storm damage, etc. When we get through you can never tell it's been damaged... that's the way good restoration is supposed to look. To keep abreast of new techniques in the area of restoration, we attend the annual Restoration Class held at Madison, Wisconsin.

John Reid's great-grandfather was one of the men involved in the construction of The Hotel Del Coronado, located in San Diego, CA.
