Exterior Restoration

Despite advances in building materials and construction methods, water remains a formidable foe. Cracked, deteriorated masonry allows water to enter a building, creating leaks that can eventually lead to structural damage. In cold weather, trapped water freezes and expands, causing bricks, stones, and masonry to loosen, spall, and dislodge.

Faros Construction Services has extensive experience in fighting leaks and deterioration through a carefully planned approach to maintenance and repair. We are experts in engineering and architecture. The entire spectrum of exterior repairs and waterproofing, including:

• Facade restoration
• Exterior surveys
• Roofing repairs or replacement
• Window and door replacement
• Repairs to balconies and terraces
• Cornice repairs or replacements
• Leakage evaluations and infrared thermography
• Consultation on curtain walls
• Historic restoration

Faros Construction Services has a team of certified Professional Rope Access Technicians who conduct hands-on facade inspections more efficiently and less expensively than traditional scaffold-drop inspections from a motorized rig. Rope access has the advantages of faster mobilization, less disruption to tenants and residents, and cost savings for building owners.

Although one of the more costly and lengthy major capital improvement projects, window and door replacement programs can result in better thermal insulation, energy efficiency, and noise reduction, as well as an improved appearance of a building. Replacing windows and doors requires careful consideration of several key issues, including the structural stability of the frame, water resistance, air infiltration, and noise abatement. For architecturally significant buildings, retaining the same design aesthetics, configurations, and sightlines is paramount. Faros Construction Services has extensive experience with many types of window and door replacement projects, including double-hung, casement, sliding, projecting, and those for properties in historic districts.
