So, what do we do?

ARK will extend the lifetime of your building through implementation of the following masonry services including:

• REPOINTING: Sealant is typically located at locations where movement is involved such as expansion joints, settlement cracks and around window or door perimeters. With these areas being the most vulnerable to moisture, a quality sealant is your primary line of defense enveloping the exterior building structure. Incorrect sealant installation can result in various undesirable conditions including accelerated corrosion and deterioration, reducing a structure’s long-term stability.
• SEALANT REPLACEMENT: Sealant is typically located at locations where movement is involved such as expansion joints, settlement cracks and around window or door perimeters. With these areas being the most vulnerable to moisture, a quality sealant is your primary line of defense enveloping the exterior building structure. Incorrect sealant installation can result in various undesirable conditions including accelerated corrosion and deterioration, reducing a structure’s long-term stability.
• HISTORIC RESTORATION AND PRESERVATION: Special considerations are required when working with historic buildings and structures. This includes methods to remove damaged materials and the types of materials used for re-installation. Often, matching and compatible replacement materials are not readily available and may need repair and cleaning before reuse. The delicate procedures involved with historic projects can therefore be more time consuming.
• EPOXY INJECTION: Local weather conditions cause concrete structures to move and settle due to thermal expansion and contraction, resulting in cracks which are susceptible to water damage. Epoxy injections provide longevity and stability through a mechanical bond. This restores concrete performance and offers a cost effective repair option.

Our expert team of professionals is capable of advising, planning, and executing all of these masonry restoration services to ensure proper repair, replacement and restoration of your project. ARK has the experience and knowledge of the materials needed to enhance your building’s exterior aesthetics.
