Services
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.
Masonry Restoration
The materials that give masonry structures their character and beauty are vulnerable to age, moisture, pollutants, building movement, and deferred maintenance.
Parking Garage Restoration
An ineffective maintenance routine on a parking structure can quickly lead to costly repairs and restorations that can be disruptive to tenants and cause unexpected costs and safety concerns.
Waterproofing & Coatings
From below grade waterproofing to deck coatings to roof coatings, any waterproofing system is only as effective as the caliber of installation.
Concrete Restoration
Concrete is economical and durable — the backbone of modern construction. But time, water, and weather take their toll and diminish its strength.
Historical Restoration
We can restore the exterior features regardless of composition or age without damaging either the building or its historical charm.

Partial Masonry Restoration | Helena-West Helena, AR
Western Specialty Contractors’ Little Rock branch completed a partial masonry restoration project on the east elevation of a historic government building in Helena-West Helena. The work was performed for Phillips County, with Clements & Associates/Architecture, Inc. serving as the project architect.

Western’s crews removed several third-floor windows and infilled the openings with new wood framing and sheathing to match the building’s updated design intent. The team also removed and replaced 50 deteriorated bricks and repointed 2,400 square feet of masonry to enhance durability and prevent moisture infiltration. To complete the restoration, Western thoroughly washed and sealed the 2,400-square-foot area with a siloxane sealer designed to protect historic masonry from weathering while maintaining its natural appearance.
