Abbot restores portico entrances at Brighton condominiums - located at 57-65 Babcock Street

Brighton, MA Abbot Building Restoration completed restoration of a series of five pre-cast concrete portico entrances to the condominiums at 57-65 Babcock St. Each portico consisted of two pre-cast concrete columns and lintel headers that had severely deteriorated over time resulting in a rough appearance with multiple cracks. Key to the restoration, Abbot hand grinded the surfaces with a special polishing stone to produce a smooth, aesthetically pleasing appearance and injected an epoxy material to structurally fill the cracks. The epoxy binds both sides of the cracks to result in a structurally sound surface. 

Abbot also repaired the deteriorated concrete and recoated the porticos to match the color of the decorative stone of the building.

Abbot also removed the deteriorated pre-cast concrete urns at top of each portico and replaced them with new, fabricated fiberglass replicas. To complete the project, Abbot recoated the tops of the porticos with an EPDM roofing material.
