Stone Restoration - Photos

Before:
Water infiltrated this wing wall causing the stone facade to bow and deflect.

After:
The displaced section was rebuilt to a sound and plumb condition using salvaged stone.

Before:

The terra cotta beltline on this building was deflecting and on the verge of falling onto the sidewalk below.

After:

ARROW had to pin, brace, reset and reinforce the terra cotta sections to a sound and secure condition.

Before:

This stone facade was schalling and deteriorating over years of improper maintenance.

After:

ARROW restored the front of this building by systematically replacing all damaged stone.

Before:
The roof and gutter above the face of the building leaked allowing water to seep between the limestone facade and the common brick back up wall. The water froze inside pushing the limestone wythe away from the interior common brick about 5″.  ARROW had to brace both the interior and exterior wythes to stabilize the wall prior to dismantling.

During:
Careful rigging and removal of the limestone facade exposed the common brick. All limestone pieces had to be cleaned, numbered and set aside to be reused.

After:
The salvaged limestone was reset and securely reinforced to the common brick back up wall for proper structural integrity. The building façade looks exactly like it did originally, only now there is no risk of falling limestone pieces.

Before:
Deflected limestone quoining made this entrance extremely dangerous.

After:
Arrow reset the displaced limestone to a sound and secure condition.


Before:

Severe spalling of a limestone façade from water damage over time.

During:

Scaffolding, pinning, and shoring are needed to support the remaining stone façade.

After:

Spalling limestone is replaced with new custom fabricated limestone pieces.

Before:

Deflected limestone capstones have to be removed and pinned to the parapet wall.

After:

Capstones are reset and all seams are primed and caulked for a watertight seal.

Before:

Sometimes the cost to replace limestone is prohibitive so patching is an alternative.

After:

This column was fabricated with a special limestone patch mix to resemble the original color, texture, and feel of limestone.
