Refurbishment, Diagnostics, Surveying

Most cracks appear to be more profound than they really are.
With age come cracks. These are signs of use or presence – just like fine facial lines, wrinkles or dimples. However, we tend to interpret cracks as a sign of decay rather than as a sign of life. That is why we take great efforts to conceal any form of visible maturity. We drill, fill, mask, clean, and unmask your facade, depending on what is required for the rejuvenation of your property. The crack repair is executed via a patented filling procedure which prevents new cracks from occurring, even 15 years later – guaranteed...

Restoration and Gilding

Someone who once used to be irresistible never seems to get old.
Fifty years before, during the prime of adulthood, ravishing, twenty years prior to that, youthful and lovely, - every age has its particular appearance and impression. In order to recognize theses aspects “objectively” and to categorize them according to their significance you have to look back in time. Historical and art-historical background knowledge is always the basic requirement for a professional and optimal restoration and conservation...

Retouch of Paintings and Figurines

Retouch is like pointillism restricted to the extent of a single point and without going astray.
Whether it is a figura serpentina, a church clock or Picasso's Guernica – all have in common that the artistic expression and workmanship of an arts craftsman is perceptible to someone else or the outside world as a whole. For that reason we follow the idea that when we lay hand on a certain object, we do it with great respect regarding its creator's original intentions and visions and try to preserve or restore these as much as possible. We try not to fall into the hybris of wanting to improve or even to change everything....

Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning

Your floor allows for expression. Your carpet can make an impression.
But what if the ornaments or printings on your carpet are barely recognizable due to wear and tear? Carpet and upholstery cleaning first and foremost means laundering, or dissolving dirt. In order to achieve best results we use an extraction procedure that makes it possible to extract the dirt from the fabric directly after being dislodged or dissolved.
We’ve been in this business for 36 years! No matter which type...

History

KARL HEINRICH WEILER PAINTING SERVICES AND I.

In 1973, I,together with four associates took over the company of Fritz Schick in Weinheim, which in the beginning was a painting service with only 6 to 14 employees. From that point on we have also been a restoration service with approximately 20 employees. I have successfully trained over 100 apprentices in both the commercial and the handicraft department. Currently we have 4 apprentices.

In particular we deal with buildings that exhibit moisture and other damages and require measures such as concrete refurbishment.

Drainage and dehumidification of buildings.
Repair and fabrication of terrazzo floors and staircases which we consider our area of expertise.
Color design in contemporary and historical fashions.
Gilding of sculptures or church steeples with oil or red bole poliment.
Stucco restoration, remodeling, or enhancement.

Despite the difficult economic situation our order books have been bursting during the past five years. We receive 70% of our orders from state institutions.
