Caulking / Sealants Replacement
Got leaks? Water intrusion is more than an inconvenience for property owners and tenants. Left unchecked, it can damage structural elements and shorten the useful life of buildings, parking garages, and plaza decks.
Concrete Restoration & Strengthening
Concrete is economical and durable — the backbone of modern construction. But time, water, and weather take their toll and diminish its strength. From concrete repairs to structural strengthening with carbon fiber, we have the expertise to ensure your project is successful.
Masonry Restoration & Preservation
Masonry restoration is the art of bringing a structure back to its original form or improving upon the original construction. A variety of different methods can be utilized to reinvigorate an older property, and they’re often used in tandem to produce a desirable appearance.
Waterproofing & Traffic Coatings
From below grade waterproofing to traffic coatings and wall coatings, any waterproofing system is only as effective as the caliber of installation.
