EXTERIOR
AND FACADE REHABILITATION
Professional building exterior and facade rehabilitation begins
with a thorough examination of the structure's existing condition
including the underlying facade support, exterior surface, roofing,
windows and any attachments such as porches, overhangs and stylistic
treatments.
The examination generally includes a review of any original plans,
related construction documents, previous repair work and updates
to arrive at a comprehensive understanding of the structure's
current exterior condition.
The FacadeMDTeam is experienced in many different types of structures
and related construction techniques from load-bearing brick, concrete
and masonry walls to veneers, including masonry cavity walls,
metal and glass curtain walls, and exterior insulation & finish
systems (EIFS) and other contemporary treatments. Each technique
presents different challenges and suggests different solutions
depending upon the location, severity, structural importance and
underlying causes of the problem.
FacadeMD Investigative Reports clearly document the nature, scope,
severity and extent of problem areas and recommended solutions.
Recommendations are prioritized to emphasize hazardous conditions
in need of immediate attention, areas requiring maintenance to
prevent new or further deterioration and recommended work to upgrade
appearances and lengthen facade life, including routine maintenance
considerations.
FacadeMDInvestigative Reports further contain rehabilitation options,
associated cost estimates and comparisons, estimated construction
timelines and other information pertinent to the building's exterior
condition and supportive of owner/manager decision process requirements.
