The exterior of a building sets the tone for a visitor’s entire experience. Along with time and weather, man-made factors like pollution and acid rain can wreak havoc on a building’s outward appearance and eventually compromise structural integrity. Stuart Dean’s curtain-wall and façade restoration programs are designed to remove corrosion and pollution from the metal skin and reverse the effects of aging and exposure on building exteriors.

Our curtain wall restoration specialists conduct chemical testing and sample on-site treatments to confirm the analysis of decay and determine optimal treatment methods. In adherence to the guidelines of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Stuart Dean only uses cleaning methods and materials, which preserve the character and value of the treated surface.
