Get to know our founder, dedicated artisans, and support staff

Founder, Neil Mozer

In his early years as a budding builder journeyman, Neil’s interest and eventual specialization in historic restoration was borne of a natural love of old things. He built his foundational knowledge through various local apprenticeships as well as ones in Denver, Colorado and in Aargau, Switzerland. With some experience in the field behind him, Neil founded Mozer Works in 1981.

For more than a quarter century, he honed his craft as a general contractor and master carpenter/builder through countless residential projects, tending toward work demanding a high degree of quality.

In 2010, recognizing a lack of dedicated restoration experts in the DC-Metro area, he decided to focus his 30-year old company's efforts solely on the restoration of entry doors and windows. To further his expertise in this area, he trained with a widely recognized national leader in restoration.

Neil and his team have been the recipients of several awards and acknowledgments for outstanding work by local preservation commissions, county governments, and historic societies.
