Do you have a Canning story from the past 45 years?
We would love to hear from any of our team members (owners, contractors, engineers, architects) that we have had the pleasure to work with over the years. If you have a story, favorite memory or something that you want to share, feel free to send us an email.
Time seems to be flying by. We are already deep into August, were does the time go? We cannot answer that question but we do have experience in enhancing some of the elements involved in keeping time. One such example is the gilding of the Waterbury City Hall dome, cupula and clock-faces on the tower. The completed gilding work resulted in the clock faces gleaming in gold leaf so everyone could easily watch time fly. You can read more about that project or check out some of our gilding blogs available in the below links.
