- Door Installation/ReplacementAvalon Bay Communities, which offers luxurious apartments with resort-style amenities, has been working with Patriot since 2008 at its flagship Boston property. Patriot worked with the property owner to develop a facade and window replacement program for the three high rise luxury apartment towers. In 2009 Patriot was awarded the $13.5 Million restoration contract to replace approximately 8,800 windows and doors along with a complete facade restoration program. Patriot worked with the building’s owner to coordinate concurrent construction at all three towers, along with the interior access required for the window replacement. At the height of the 14-month project, Patriot had 26 swing stage scaffolds in use. Patriot restored the brick and concrete facade elements, installed a protective waterproof coating to the concrete elements, and replaced over 35 miles of sealants. Patriot Restoration is currently performing a storefront and curtainwall replacement program at the site. All of the penthouse units recently had the exterior glass storefronts replaced with high performance insulated units. The same work is also being performed at the first and second-floor portions of the three towers. Patriot is also under contract to perform plaza and mezzanine structural repairs, waterproofing, landscaping, and hardscape upgrades to the facility. The entire package of repairs is slated to be completed by early 2016.
- FramingTen 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.

- Irrigation SystemsLocated in Newton, Massachusetts, 233 Needham Street is a high-visibility office building in the N2 Innovation District. The attached five-level parking garage built in 1987 needed significant structural repairs. Work consisted of over 45 supplemental steel beams and girders being removed and replaced, replacing the entire stair tower, and over 10,000 square feet of concrete deck repairs to the existing floor plates. The steel beams and columns were sandblasted and painted with non-corrosive paint upon completing all the structural repairs. We then installed a high traffic waterproofing system to all garage levels, protecting the concrete and steel decking from the elements that caused the previous damage. New parking lines and directional arrows were installed as well as reinstalling the sprinkler system.

- Residential Roof Replacement/InstallationBrook 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.

- MasonryMilk 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.
