Milk Street, Boston, MA
First constructed in the early 1900s, this mass-masonry building, located in Boston’s financial district, had a steel frame addition added 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 completed in 1920. Over the years, water damage caused the steel structure to corrode and rust, causing displacement of 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 and design/implement a program to thoroughly remove and replace the corner column while maintaining building operations and without schedule delays.

Brook House, Brookline, MA
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.

Originally, selected to perform the initial window replacement work on the building in 2014, Patriot was rewarded for their performance as a key contactor in a massive building-wide restoration effort. Patriot provided all scaffolding access, performed over 30,000 square feet of concrete repairs at window perimeters and facades, installed new perimeter sealants on over 900 windows and installed an elastomeric waterproofing coating to the building’s facade.

Patriot Restoration was commissioned to provide complete scaffold access to the entire building facade as part of a $14.4 Million facade restoration and window replacement project. Patriot worked with the architect to develop the window replacement strategy and travertine facade restoration program. Patriot was responsible for and handled all site safety, scaffold access, sidewalk bridging, travertine repairs and sealant replacement along with coordination for window replacement, which was performed at night to minimize disruption to the building tenants. The three year project, replaced all windows in the building, restored all of the travertine facades and replaced all building sealants.

Post Office Square
Ten Post Office Square is a historic office building that upholds the tradition and elegance of Boston. Built between 1923 and 1929 it is an outstanding example of Limestone architecture in Boston. Patriot Restoration recently completed limestone and structural steel restoration at this beautiful building. Starting on Kilby and Water Streets, scaffold access via Mastclimber access towers was provided to remove limestone and masonry facade elements in order to repair and replace the deteriorated underlying structural steel framing. Once the steel components were restored and a protective waterproofing system installed, new masonry and Indiana Limestone cladding were installed to match the existing color and coursing of the building. The project then proceeded to Post Office Square and was completed on Milk Street. The exterior facade was completely restored including the replacement of all sealants and will remain an outstanding example of Boston architecture for the next century.

Coddington Hall
Patriot Restoration was selected as the masonry contractor to perform the exterior renovation of the historic Coddington Hall in Quincy Massachusetts.

Christian Science Tower
Built in 1973 as part of Boston’s iconic Christian Science Plaza, 177 Huntington Avenue was a bold modernist landmark designed by I. M. Pei.The exterior facade restoration of the historic Christian Science Tower, which Patriot completed in 2015, included one very significant challenge—providing safe and cost-effective access to the buildings façade, given the structural concrete latticework of columns and beams at the tower’s East and West elevations. Patriot utilized a combination of Mastclimber platforms and swing-stage access to allow inspections and repairs to be carried out safely and efficiently.
Over the course of the project, all deteriorated exterior sealants were remediated, over 10,000 square feet of concrete repairs were performed and a waterproofing membrane was installed at the sky facing surfaces of the building’s unique latticework and structural elements. Patriot delivered the $4.5 million project on time and under budget within a nine-month period.
