Freeze-thaw cycles take a heavy toll on building facades. Replacing — not just repairing — damaged stonework is a major undertaking, but worth it over the long term.

A Brooklyn co-op, Sun Garden Homes Association, completes a facade insulation project using EIFS, enhancing aesthetics, reducing maintenance, and improving energy efficiency.
White-glazed brick with aging glaze can develop spider cracks called crazing, compromising waterproofing and safety. A co-op replaced white-glazed brick with red brick to avoid costly repairs and improve insulation.
The co-op will save millions by tackling brickwork for two cycles at once.
The Department of Buildings is looking very closely at buildings that might not be complying with FISP guidelines.
Project coordination can make or break a capital improvement project.
Regular FISP inspections can lead to huge facade projects. Is your board prepared?
A proactive approach to capital maintenance can save time and money in the long run.
Robots can detect flaws in facades than the human eye.
A study is under way that could revolutionize building maintenance.
