Careful consultation and analysis is needed for maintenance of important historic structures to ensure the proper materials and repair methodology is used to maintain the historical requirements.

Some materials (terra cotta, marble, limestone, slate, granite, and brownstone) are common in historic façades, but rarely used in modern construction. We have established stringent technical guidelines on the repair and installation of these materials and focus on project-specific quality control processes.

PULLMAN has worked on preserving numerous structures recognized as National Historic Landmarks across the country. Our team of historic restoration experts bring attention to detail and craftsmanship when partnering with owners, engineers, and project teams to develop comprehensive solutions and maintain the long-term sustainability of these treasures.

A building envelope provides protection from the elements, moisture, wind, temperature, and other environmental factors. As an exclusive licensee of STRUCTURAL TECHNOLOGIES, PULLMAN works in partnership with select engineers to identify the root cause of problems and develop solutions.

Moisture control problems can significantly damage infrastructure – even minor moisture problems can lead to corrosion, structural damage, or create unhealthy environments and costly remediation. Our subject matter experts assist engineers in the investigation of these problems and understand the wide range of options and associated costs available to control moisture and corrosion related issues. We bring to our engineering partners the knowledge of different materials applicability, service-life, and constructability so that the best options can be presented to the owner.

Whether it’s a simple flashing rework, corrosion protection system installation, or total replacement or modification of major elements, PULLMAN can restore the performance of your building envelope.
