Our Façade Inspection & Repair Process
Every successful facade restoration project starts with a clear understanding of existing conditions. Paragon’s seven-step approach leaves nothing to chance:
1. Initial Inspection & Building Survey
We begin with a thorough façade inspection, using drones, high-resolution photography, and close-up assessments to map damage across exterior walls, window sills, and building openings. A detailed building survey pinpoints spalling brick, failing mortar joints, corroded shelf angles, and early signs of structural damage from building settlement or shifting.
2. Damage Assessment & Planning
Our engineers analyze the data to determine whether issues stem from moisture infiltration, freeze-thaw cycles, or material fatigue. We then develop a customized plan that prioritizes immediate repairs and outlines restoration steps.
3. Mock-Up, Submittals & Local Law 11 Compliance
For projects subject to Local Law 11, we prepare material submittals—matching brick, limestone, and historic stucco samples—and build a full-scale mock-up to confirm textures and colors. All filings are handled in-house to keep your FISP cycle on track.
4. Safety Setup & Site Preparation
Safety barriers, suspended scaffolding, and boom lifts are installed according to OSHA standards and our commitment to safety protocols, eliminating safety hazards before work begins.
5. Material Testing & Moisture Monitoring
Thermal imaging and moisture meters detect hidden leaks or moisture build-up that could undermine long-term performance. This prevents superficial fixes and ensures root causes are addressed.
6. Restoration Work Begins
Our crew handles facade repair tasks—removing deteriorated materials, repointing mortar, replacing damaged brick or stone, and applying premium sealant and waterproof membranes. We tackle masonry repair and replacement, restore copings and flashings, and refinish surfaces with care.
7. Quality Checks, Finishing Touches & Client Walkthrough
A final inspection verifies structural support for a building and confirms weather-tight seals. We then remove scaffolding, perform specialist cleaning to remove grime, and guide you through completed work, sharing a maintenance plan to extend the life of your restored exterior.
Facade Restoration Techniques
Paragon’s depth of expertise ensures every material is treated correctly:
- Mortar Joints & Sealant Work
We craft custom mortar mixes for optimal adhesion and permeability, then repoint joints with precision. A discreet sealant barrier locks out water, preventing future cracking. - Cladding & Stucco Repair
When modern panels or classic stucco require attention, we source matching materials and execute flawless installations—maintaining historic character on historic building facades or upgrading contemporary structures. - Brick, Stone & Limestone Restoration
Damaged brick and stone are replaced with color-matched units, while carved limestone details are repaired by artisans to blend seamlessly with original work. - Specialist Cleaning & Interior Waterproofing
Our gentle cleaning methods—steam cleaning, micro-abrasion, and biodegradable detergents—lift pollutants without harming delicate surfaces. We finish with targeted weatherproofing for the interior spaces to enhance energy efficiency and stop moisture at the source.
Maintenance, Safety & Long-Term Protection
Preventing future problems is just as important as fixing current ones:
- Regular Inspections & Preventative Maintenance to Address Issues
Scheduled regular inspections catch hairline cracks, sealant fatigue, and early signs of water intrusion—helping you avoid emergency scaffolding and costly disruptions. - Commitment to Safety & Ongoing Support
From re-testing scaffold anchors to checking flashing and gutters, our follow-up visits uphold the highest safety standards and preserve integrity for years to come.
