Patriot’s $1.3M masonry restoration project for the large Brook House condominium complex, located in Brookline, Massachusetts, addressed ongoing leaks at one elevation of the property. The project consisted of through-wall flashings and waterproofing, masonry repairs, roof replacement and railings, and metalwork resulting in the complete restoration of the facade. Access was achieved using a combination of scaffolding and mast climbers. To minimize the impact on tenants, we accomplished our work around occupied units by using later start times and a compressed schedule to minimize disruptions as much as possible.

First constructed in the early 1900s, this mass-masonry building, located in Boston’s financial district, later received a steel-frame addition after the initial construction. Plans were approved in 1900, the original construction of the eight-floor building was completed in 1903, and the 9th/10th-floor addition was finished in 1920. Over the years, water damage caused the steel structure to corrode and rust, which displaced the masonry. This $1.5M project consisted of 100% repointing of the original brick facade, complete replacement of precast masonry and relieving angles on the 9th and 10th floors (~300’ total), limestone patching, and replacement of the original sheet metal cornice with a GFRP replica produced by DurOFiber in New Hampshire.

During the project, Patriot discovered that the column on the corner of Batterymarch and Milk Street, which was part of the early addition, had corroded so badly that one could see through the web in some places. Patriot brought in a structural engineer to work side by side to design and implement a program that thoroughly removed and replaced the corner column while maintaining building operations and avoiding schedule delays.

The Trinity Church, located at 206 Clarendon Street, is one of Boston’s most historically significant structures. Designed by Henry Hobson Richardson in 1868, the church represents the height of the Richardson Romanesque architectural style, which was named after him.

Patriot Restoration was tasked with restoring numerous distressed sections of the property, including the Northwest Tower, Northeast Turret, West Porch main entrance, and its Statuary. The historic statues and intricate carvings were deteriorating in part due to water infiltration caused by failing mortar joints. Patriot worked closely with architect Goody Clancy to remove and replace these joints and perform stabilization repairs to protect the Statuary for future generations.

The scope of work performed throughout the property included facade cleaning, brownstone Dutchman repairs, repointing of all masonry joints, crack repair, and sealant work associated with roofing replacement. Patriot also completed more than 300 Dutchman repairs with structural pinning, masonry reconstruction, masonry repointing, cleaning, and terra cotta repair.

The Hampton Place Condominium Courtyard is a rooftop garden located above the luxury Chestnut Hill property’s underground garage. The condominium board selected Patriot Restoration to perform extensive renovations on the half-acre garden, which features an in-ground pool and a variety of landscaped areas.

Work began with the careful removal and disposal of all existing hardscapes, trees, plants, and nearly 3,500 yards of soil. Patriot then installed supplemental drainage systems and applied a new hot-applied waterproofing system specifically engineered for green roofs to ensure long-term protection and performance.

To complete the transformation, Patriot partnered with Recover Green Roofs to install new lightweight soils, lawns, and plantings, along with integrated lighting to enhance both functionality and aesthetics. Two new hardscape areas were also constructed—one consisting of pavers supported by pedestals, and the other featuring pavers set directly on grade—creating inviting spaces for residents to enjoy.

Patriot Restoration has completed a full restoration project for Village Falls in Newton, Massachusetts, including the condominium’s underground parking structure and the landscaped plaza directly above it. The work encompassed multiple cast-in-place planters along with numerous trees, shrubs, plantings, and grassy areas.

The project began with the removal of the entire hardscape, all planters, and the existing waterproofing down to the structural deck of the garage. Work also included a large section of the on-grade concrete parking area, as well as the entrance and exit to the garage. Over the course of the project, Patriot repaired the structural deck, installed new waterproofing, and replaced all expansion joints. The new hardscape was completed, planters were reinstalled using large pieces of granite, and new cast-in-place curbs were added.

All work on the parking structure and plaza was completed while keeping the lower garage open and operational—minimizing disruption to tenants. Initially slated as a three-year project beginning in 2020, Patriot completed the first two phases ahead of schedule and delivered the entire project earlier than planned in 2021.

After extensive renovations, the 1.4 million-square-foot Innovation and Design Building, located in Boston’s Seaport District, is now home to a dynamic mix of companies and industries.
