Leaks can be both a cause and an effect of exterior damage. We inspect for any leaks, from the roof down, ensuring we know exactly what is causing the damage.

Resealing and caulking windows that have degraded helps keep buildings energy efficient despite their age.
Knowing What to Use When
Each service has a purpose specific to a certain type of historic façade. If you aren’t sure which services you need, we offer a thorough inspection to evaluate the state of the building. Historical Society of Washington, D.C. and Maryland Historical Societies may also dictate which services you need. If your building is on a historic register, please check with the appropriate governing body to be sure we’re aware of any needs specific to your building.
Our staff experts are extremely thorough in determining the exact methods and materials needed to restore your building to its full glory. Our in-house experts handle every service on the above list, but we also work with local artisans when needed to restore anything requiring unique work. These relationships, along with our connections in sourcing materials, let us offer a full façade repair and restoration without compromising on accuracy or quality.
