Concrete restoration is the process of repairing old and damaged concrete to restore the integrity of the structure. Restoring concrete helps return it to its original appearance and improve the building aesthetics. Concrete restoration is often more expensive than concrete in new construction, however it is typically less expensive than tearing down the structure and building a new structure.
Structural damage is often found on elevated slabs, balconies, walkways, parking garages, and structural elements. Structural concrete damage is often caused by chloride and moisture intrusion resulting in the rebar oxidation—or rusting. Long-lasting concrete preservation, repair, and rehabilitation is possible when experienced professionals utilize proper concrete repair and restoration technologies.
Flashing refers to thin pieces of impervious material installed to prevent the passage of water into a structure from a joint or as part of a weather resistant barrier system. Flashing is intended to decrease water penetration at objects such as chimneys, vent pipes, walls, windows and door openings to make buildings more durable and to reduce indoor mold problems.
Decks
Abrasion and Corrosion: Many above-grade coatings are applied to horizontal surfaces like balconies, plazas, and parking decks, where they are exposed to foot and vehicle traffic. In northern climates and ocean-front environments, above grade coatings must withstand exposure to salt and other chemicals as well, which are often applied as de-icing agents.

Residential Roof Repair
During the scheduled repair, we document the cause of the problem and the repairs we perform. By request, we can also check for potential problem areas that could become future leaks. All this information is put into a client report with before and after pictures of the repaired leaks, how we repaired them, and any other potential problem spots. This information is valuable for record keeping and for knowing how much to budget for roof repairs. Preventing leaks is much easier and less expensive than repairing them once they happen.

EIFS and Stucco Repair describes the methods of repairing the exterior surfaces of buildings for longevity and aesthetics. EIFS stands for exterior insulation and finish system and describes a class of non-load bearing cladding systems that provides exterior walls with an insulated, water-resistant, finished surface in a composite material system.
Masonry
Masonry restoration is often a bigger project than masonry repair. Damaged masonry may only be a portion of a building’s masonry, and a repair job only focuses on the damaged part. Masonry restoration typically includes the entire building.
Caulking
Wet glazing is a fairly straightforward service that is often performed in conjunction with caulking window perimeters, glass-to-glass, or control joints on a commercial building. Sometimes the building’s facade consists of only curtain wall glass with alternating spandrel panels (triangular spaces between the top of an arch and a rectangular frame) and window glass. In these cases, there are no control joints or window perimeter
