Services
Concrete Restoration
Concrete is economical and durable — the backbone of modern construction. But time, water, and weather take their toll and diminish its strength.
Waterproofing
From below grade waterproofing to deck coatings to roof coatings, any waterproofing system is only as effective as the caliber of installation.
Stone & Brick Restoration
The materials that give masonry structures their character and beauty are vulnerable to age, moisture, pollutants, building movement, and deferred maintenance.
Sealant 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.

Historical Restoration
We can restore the exterior features regardless of composition or age without damaging either the building or its historical charm.
