Why Pennsylvania Buildings Need Engineered Envelope Solutions
Freeze-Thaw Winters And Road Salt
Pennsylvania buildings go through dozens of freeze-thaw cycles every winter, from the snow belt around Scranton to the river cities of Pittsburgh and Harrisburg. Water that seeps into brick, stone and concrete freezes overnight and pushes them apart, and road salt carried into parking garages and onto storefronts corrodes steel and breaks down concrete. Humid summers and strong storms then age sealants and coatings.
The state’s buildings reflect more than three centuries of history: colonial brick and terra cotta towers in Philadelphia, soot-darkened sandstone in Pittsburgh, the granite State Capitol in Harrisburg, Lancaster’s Central Market and tobacco warehouses, Allentown’s Hamilton Street and Scranton’s railroad-era landmarks.
Storms, Floods And Facade Inspections
Nor’easters and the remnants of tropical storms have flooded the Susquehanna, Schuylkill and Lehigh valleys, and in Philadelphia, buildings six stories or taller must have their facades inspected every five years. Presto finds the real cause of each failure and fixes it with systems built for the conditions, from breathable repellents on historic brick to the repairs called out in inspection reports.

QUESTIONS
Building Restoration In Pennsylvania: Common Questions
Does Presto Restoration Work Throughout Pennsylvania?
Yes. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown, Harrisburg, Lancaster and Scranton each have their own service pages, and we take on commercial projects in other communities across the state as well.
What Kinds Of Buildings Do You Work On In Pennsylvania?
We work on large commercial and institutional buildings, including office towers, hospitals, universities, government buildings, hotels, parking garages and historic landmarks.
Does Presto Help With Philadelphia Facade Inspection Repairs?
Yes. Philadelphia requires buildings six stories or taller to have their facades inspected every five years. Presto performs the repairs called out in those reports and works with your inspecting engineer or architect.
Why Does Freeze-Thaw Damage Masonry So Quickly?
Brick, stone and mortar absorb water. When that water freezes it expands and pushes the material apart, and Pennsylvania winters repeat that cycle dozens of times, so small cracks grow quickly if they are not repaired.
When Is The Best Time Of Year For Exterior Work In Pennsylvania?
Most sealants, coatings and masonry repairs need temperatures of about 40 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer to cure, so the main season runs from spring through fall. Some repairs can continue in winter under heated enclosures.
How Long Has Presto Restoration Been In Business?
Presto has restored commercial buildings nationwide for more than 25 years, and we bring that experience to every Pennsylvania project.
