Historic Rehabilitation & Incentives

Historic rehabilitation can come with opportunities that ordinary renovation does not.

Depending on the property's designation, location, use, and scope of work, qualifying projects in San Antonio may be eligible for local, state, or federal historic preservation incentives.

At Old Growth Revival, we approach rehabilitation with an emphasis on repair, retention, and responsible reuse of historic materials. From wood windows and doors to flooring, millwork, masonry, and architectural salvage, we document existing materials and identify opportunities to preserve what can be saved.

We can help property owners understand how proposed preservation work fits into a larger rehabilitation project and provide documentation of the work we perform.

Potential incentives may include:

  • City of San Antonio historic rehabilitation property-tax incentives

  • Texas Historic Preservation Tax Credit

  • Federal Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit

Eligibility and qualifying expenses vary by property and project. Historic review and approval may also be required before work begins.

We encourage property owners to determine eligibility with the City of San Antonio Office of Historic Preservation, the Texas Historical Commission, and their tax professional before beginning work.

Preserve the building. Preserve the material. Preserve the history.
