Salt air, tropical storms and intense UV rays can wreak havoc on beach-front properties. Without routine maintenance, these buildings can deteriorate at an accelerated rate, posing safety hazards to tenants.
The Boca Reef Condo Association recently contracted Western Specialty Contractors’ Fort Lauderdale Branch to remove and replace deteriorating balcony railings, make concrete repairs, and waterproof all balconies at the Boca Reef condominiums in Boca Raton, FL.
Located at 3051 S Ocean Blvd, Boca Reef is a mid-rise beachside condominium on the west side of A1A at the southern end of the East Boca Raton beach area. The boutique condominium, built in 1971, has just under 50 private units ranging from 920 to over 3,000 square feet.
Western’s restoration experts are making façade repairs around the entire building and concrete repairs on the building’s weathered porte cochere and stairwells. Additionally, Western is replacing all the building’s concrete balcony barriers with modern glass railings, allowing an unobstructed ocean view.
To complete the project, Western is applying a Sika 710/745 waterproofing system on each concrete balcony to protect them from wear and tear. Western is expecting to complete the project on budget and ahead of schedule within the next couple of months.
The building remains occupied while the restoration is underway, with Western installing temporary boards and glass protective tape across doors to prevent tenants from going out on their balconies and getting in harm’s way.
Hillman Engineering is the engineer on the project.
