technology and available craftsmen. As water is the primary cause of facade deterioration, especially for stone buildings, expertise in water management is fundamental. Mass wall systems must be allowed to breathe, cavity wall systems must drain, and barrier wall systems must be sealed. Repairs for each can be drastically different. The interaction of building components (roof, parapets, windows, doors, etc.) must also be understood.We have extensive experience in the full range of cladding materials: traditional terra cotta, marble, granite, brick, iron, limestone and redstone, as well as the modern complement of glass, steel, aluminum, EIFS and reinforced concretes.
Facade Restoration Technology
We make use of the latest technologies in order to improve efficiency and reduce costs, such as creating and maintaining digital archive files of original building drawings, allowing us great agility and economy in responding to routine maintenance and emergency situations.
Our knowledge of repair techniques is comprehensive, including innovations such as mechanical and coating stabilization systems, and pressure-equalized rainscreen (PER).
In addition to our design services, O'Donnell & Naccarato has built long-standing relationships with local, qualified contractors and material representatives, ensuring project coordination, quality workmanship and immediate response to emergency situations. |
