Protecting Tulsa Office Towers, Art Deco Landmarks, Hospitals & Campuses from Hail, Heat and Ice
Commercial Building Restoration Experts Serving Tulsa, OK
Tulsa’s downtown is one of the great collections of 1920s and 1930s architecture in the country, rich with glazed terra cotta, carved limestone and ornamental metal from the oil boom. Its weather is tough on all of it. Spring storms bring hail and strong wind that crack sealants and coatings, summers are humid and regularly pass 100 degrees, and winter ice storms coat ledges and ornament. Water that gets behind terra cotta rusts the steel anchors inside, cracking and loosening the pieces over time.
Presto Restoration has restored and waterproofed commercial buildings, parking structures and historic properties across the country for more than 25 years. In Tulsa our crews work on downtown office towers, art deco landmarks, buildings in the Blue Dome and Brady Arts districts, hospitals and medical campuses, university buildings, hotels and apartment buildings. We use high-movement sealant systems, compatible repair materials and restoration products we make ourselves.
OUR BUILDING RESTORATION & WATERPROOFING SERVICES IN TULSA, OK
Exterior restoration, waterproofing and building envelope consulting for commercial properties in Tulsa and across Tulsa County.
Hail, heat and ice tear open the seals that keep Tulsa buildings dry. We reseal joints, windows, curtain walls and the seams around ornament with high-movement systems.
From terra cotta towers to modern office buildings, Tulsa facades take hail, heat and ice. We repair terra cotta, stone and brick, replace sealants and restore metal and glass.
Many downtown Tulsa garages are decades old. We remove deteriorated concrete, treat corroded steel, replace joints and add traffic membranes that keep water and salt out.
Hail and summer heat wear out Tulsa roofs. Many can be restored with hail and flashing repairs and a reflective coating instead of a costly tear-off.
Tulsa’s historic buildings include the Philtower, the Philcade, the Mayo Hotel and Union Depot. We preserve them with terra cotta repair and recasting, new stainless anchors and matched lime mortars.
Water behind terra cotta can travel floors before it shows, and hail damage may not leak for weeks. We find the real source with controlled water testing, thermal imaging, moisture surveys, drone photos and hands-on inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Building Restoration in Tulsa, OK
What types of commercial buildings does Presto restore in Tulsa?
Office towers, art deco landmarks, churches, hospitals and medical campuses, university buildings, hotels, apartment buildings and parking garages. We work with terra cotta, limestone, brick, stucco, concrete, precast, metal panels, glass and roofing.
How does Tulsa’s weather affect commercial buildings?
Hail cracks coatings, sealants and roof membranes, wind drives rain into walls, summer heat hardens sealants, and ice storms push meltwater into joints. On older towers, water behind terra cotta rusts the anchors that hold it on.
How long does a building restoration project take in Tulsa?
A sealant replacement may take a few weeks, while restoring a terra cotta facade can take several months. Work is planned around storm season and summer heat.
Does Presto handle permits in Tulsa?
Yes. We work with the City of Tulsa Development Services when permits are required, coordinate through general contractors on larger jobs and welcome owners who pull their own permits. Every project is covered by Presto’s nationwide general liability and workers’ compensation insurance.
What is the difference between building restoration and building maintenance?
Maintenance keeps a building clean and in good repair day to day. Restoration fixes what has failed, such as cracked terra cotta, split joints and broken concrete, so water stops getting in.
How do I know if my Tulsa building needs restoration?
