a.
The cleaning restoration on Saint Patrick's Cathedral
reflects the cleaning problems most old buildings pose.
The mold, algae, lichen, and moss establishes quite
a foothold over time. |
 b.A
hot water steam cleaning was all it required to remove
over fifty years of natural discolorations, restoring
a bright beautiful appearance to this Church. |
c.
The Dunhill Hotel had never been cleaned in its one
hundred year history. It had heavy carbon stains and
many other stains from airborne pollutants. This type
of black staining is commonly found on old masonry buildings. |
d.
In coordination with Stone Restoration of America, we
were able to safely rig scaffolding on a building that
was never designed for todays systems. |
e. See the results!!! Almost one hundred years of aging
removed after cleaning. Attention to Detail Inc. sealed
the brick with a breathable masonry sealer so the hotel
will keep this new appearance for years to come. |
f.
This Historic Building in Waxhaw was over one hundred
years old. It had been covered with many applications
of paint in it's history. The
missing brick, weak mortar joints, and extensive cracking
in the brick veneer required delicate handling. With
our experience in Historic Restorations, you can rely
on Attention To Detail for the knowledge and experience
to perform such a job. |
g.
Windows were covered as layer upon layer of paint was
removed via scrapping and wire brushing. This
is done to minimize water containment disposal. The
piles of removed paint were swept up for disposal. When
the final cleaning phase begins the waste water is contained
as well. |
h.
After the final stage of paint removal, the restoration
was not complete until all motar joints were pointed
up. Caulking, and a top of line Sealant application
was performed. The Sealant's Represenative issued a
Ten Year Warrenty after his job inspection and testing. |
