Abbot Building Restoration restores balcony decks at Hunters Village Condominiums

Abbot Building Restoration recently restored a series of balcony decks at Hunters Village Condominiums. Hunters Village is comprised of three two-story brick buildings with concrete balconies outside each condominium unit. As the balcony decks had experienced considerable deterioration due to outdoor exposure over the years, the owner hired Building Envelope Consulting, Inc. (Somerville, MA) to investigate the situation, and subsequently contracted Abbot to perform the consulting firm's recommended remedial action. Abbot repaired those balcony decks that could be salvaged, and completely removed those balcony decks that could not be salvaged and installed new concrete decks in their place. Also, because the balcony railings were out of compliance with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts building code, Abbot replaced all of the railings with new aluminum railings to meet the state code. To complete the project, Abbot waterproofed all of the decks with a pedestrian urethane protective coating and painted the steel fascias to protect their surfaces and enhance their aesthetic appearance. Abbot Building Restoration Company specializes in repair and maintenance of the building enclosures of aging structures in the greater Boston area. Abbot also provides remedial weatherproofing services to correct construction deficiencies in newer structures.
