EverGreene Architectural Arts (EverGreene) is the largest specialty contractor in the U.S., providing design,
restoration, conservation, and adaptive reuse services to commercial, government, institutional, sacred, and theater clients. Established in 1978 by Jeff Greene, EverGreene has grown from a small mural painting studio to a company of artists, conservators,
craftsmen, and designers that work throughout the United States and abroad.
History
In 1976, with the advent of the Historic Preservation tax Incentives, interest in historic preservation grew in the United States. EverGreene, originally started as a firm that almost exclusively focused on decorative painting and murals, expanded in size and service offerings to assist clients and owners of historic structures including:
courthouses,
state capitols,
churches,
synagogues,
theaters and
commercial buildings. To execute large scale projects, EverGreene will often partner with
architecture firms during the design and planning phases and with
general contractors as a provider of specialty expertise and services.
