Riggio Boron
SERVICES
Sealant and Caulking Installation
Riggio/Boron Ltd. specializes in sealant removal and replacement. Our experience allows us to inspect and evaluate existing conditions of sealant and determine what repairs are needed to provide proper protection for your building’s façade from water, air and other external infiltrations.
Masonry & Stone Restoration
Riggio/Boron Ltd. has extensive experience in the area of concrete, masonry and stone restoration. These surfaces can last centuries with proper maintenance. Mortar joints need to be full and tight to block water infiltration. Failing mortar joints will allow water into the structure and erode the brick and stone itself. Well maintained mortar joints and the application of a masonry sealer will ensure a prolonged life for the structure.
We provided 100% grinding and repointing, 100% removal and replacement of sealant and 100% water repellant application on the tallest masonry building in downtown Chicago, Hyatt Regency Chicago.
