WBENC Certified Masonry Restoration Contractor

Graciano Corporation is a WBENC certified Women’s Business Enterprise and one of the oldest and most experienced masonry restoration firms in the United States, in continuous operation since 1916. We work directly with general contractors, construction managers, public agencies, and developers who need a qualified diverse-business subcontractor with the scale and historical experience to perform on landmark, public, and large-scale private restoration work.

WBE Certification Details

Graciano became WBENC certified following the January 2025 ownership change. We are recognized as a certified Women’s Business Enterprise by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), the largest third-party certifier of women-owned businesses in the United States.

  • Certifying body: Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC)
  • Certification type: WBE (Women’s Business Enterprise)
  • Effective: January 2025
  • Capability statement and current certificate available on request: info@graciano.com

Our WBE status counts toward general contractor and prime contractor diversity participation goals on federal, state, and municipal projects, and qualifies as supplier diversity credit for Fortune 1000 corporate buyers participating in the WBENC supplier program.

Capability and Scale

WBE status alone does not deliver work. The diverse-business subcontractors that win and successfully complete large procurements are the ones who pair certification with the scale, safety record, bonding capacity, and demonstrated experience to perform. Graciano brings all of it:

  • Self-performed trades: tuckpointing, repointing, brick replacement, stone restoration, terra cotta, Guastavino tile, shotcrete, waterproofing, caulking, epoxy injection, facade inspection
  • Union signatory with Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers (BAC) and International Masonry Institute affiliation
  • Multiple verified award recipient: Lucy G. Moses Preservation Awards (NY Landmarks Conservancy) for Belvedere Castle, Moynihan Station, The Cloisters, Brooklyn Academy of Music, and MetLife Tower; Golden Trowel Awards from International Masonry Institute for Cork Factory, Cleveland Museum of Art, Staple Bend Tunnel, and Georgian Court Bridge

Project Types Suited to Our Capability

Graciano is a strong WBE subcontractor selection when the scope involves:

  • Public sector restoration: government buildings, libraries, courthouses, transit facilities
  • Historic preservation requiring National Park Service Preservation Brief compliance
  • NYC Local Law 11 / FISP facade compliance work
