STRUXC-MC recently completed another phase of the rehabilitation program, started by St. Andrews Greek Orthodox Church in 2015. Built in 1957 this vintage limestone building is slowly and carefully being repaired and rehabilitated back to its original state. This phase of work included a thorough cleaning of the exterior walls bringing the limestone back to its natural appearance.

The restoration also included repairs to bulging stones over the main entry arch, replacing or resetting cracked or deteriorated stone units at several locations and restoring or reforming selected limestone units with JAHN cathedral stone mortar. The building was also re-caulked with urethane sealant and the decorative marble entry to the west entrance was resealed with a color silicone sealant to create a seamless transition between the stone and joints.
