700 E Main St — Commercial Caulking & Waterproofing Project
Presto Restoration completed a commercial caulking and waterproofing project at 700 E Main St, Stamford, CT 06901. The scope covered deteriorated caulking across the entire exterior of The Stamford, a downtown hotel building. Crews replaced the wet glazing, window perimeter caulking, control joint caulking, and metal-to-metal framing connections.
Caulking & Sealant Failure in Stamford, CT
Caulking and sealant failure throughout the commercial building exterior had reached a critical point in downtown Stamford. The wet glazing joints had failed where glass meets the metal framing. Window perimeter caulking had separated from the surrounding facade, opening gaps that let water leak behind the exterior wall. The control joints between precast stone panels had cracked and pulled away from the stone surfaces. Metal-to-metal connections and the street-level curtain wall sealant had also deteriorated.
Stamford sits along the Long Island Sound in Fairfield County, where salt air and high humidity break down exterior caulking year-round. Wind-driven rain off the Sound hits sealant joints hard during nor’easters and coastal storms. Freeze-thaw cycling between October and April works moisture into every gap that aging caulking leaves behind. For a commercial building owner in Stamford, that means water intrusion, mold behind the facade, corroded framing, and interior damage that costs far more to repair than a caulking replacement.
Wet Glazing, Window Perimeter & Control Joint Caulking in Stamford, CT
Presto completed the commercial caulking and sealant replacement in Stamford by setting up swing stages to reach the full height of the building. The largest portion of the scope covered the wet glazing joints. Technicians removed the old sealant and gasket material, prepped each joint, and applied new silicone sealant across every glazing connection.
Next, the team addressed the window perimeter caulking and control joint caulking across the commercial building exterior. Each joint was stripped of old material, cleaned, and resealed — window frames to the surrounding facade, and control joints between the precast stone panels with silicone rated for the building’s movement range.
Crews also resealed the metal-to-metal framing connections, replaced the curtain wall sealant at street level, and finished with the skylight joints at the roof level.
Commercial Waterproofing Services in Stamford, CT
Commercial waterproofing services in Stamford, CT address the water leaks that building owners and property managers deal with most — leaking windows and failed control joints that let water into the building envelope. Window waterproofing starts with replacing the perimeter sealants between the frame and the surrounding wall, while control joint sealant replacement keeps water from getting behind the wall panels at the planned movement joints. When a building waterproofing project covers both, the owner gets a fully sealed exterior and stops chasing individual leaks.
