The Durable Restoration Company is undertaking a full exterior restoration of the front façade and two steeples of the Evangelical Lutheran Church.
The scope of work for this project included masonry spot pointing throughout, wood repair and replacement, and a new coat of paint on exterior elements.
Durable Restoration restored both the bell tower and the steeple on this historic church.
Our historic masons removed the displaced brick and mortar that was over the center arch and replaced it with salvaged brick and applied matching mortar within the mortar joints.
Our crews completed structural stabilization of the arch and wood replacement to the water-damaged area, connected to one of the concrete columns.
Our scope of work for this project included building a wrap-around porch, installing box gutters, downspouts, and new metal wall flashing.
The restoration process of St. Andrew's Catholic Church included 3 phases. These phases included restoring both steeples, restoring the center spire with new copper, and the installation of a new Buckingham slate roof.
Our crews corrected structural problems and physical alterations to the original construction in order to restore the home to its original period style.
Originally built in 1910 as the St. Clair Hospital, the building was later converted into a hotel that served predominantly African-Americans, including many nationally renowned musical acts. Today, this beautifully restored building functions as senior housing.
With the help of state grants and city funding, we were able to perform a multitude of renovations including installing a new roof, restoring the wood windows and trim, and installing a new chandelier.
