Preserving Rochester’s Historic and Institutional Architecture Restoration Expertise for Long-Standing Local Buildings
Rochester’s built environment includes historic downtown properties, churches, schools, civic structures, commercial buildings and major institutional facilities serving the community for generations. Bond Façade Services approaches each historic building restoration project with close attention to material compatibility, original architectural details and underlying structural conditions.
Minnesota weather can accelerate mortar deterioration, masonry cracking, concrete damage and steel corrosion through repeated freeze-thaw cycles, moisture intrusion and seasonal temperature swings.
