The fire department incurred significant flood damage from a torrential rain event. Their apparatus bays faired well since they were all concrete block walls, but their support spaces were not that fortunate. Our team was brought in not only to repair the spaces but to make them more resilient to future flooding.
Working with the department leadership we re-planned the layout to be more functional. We then eliminated all materials such as gypsum board and wood framing that would absorb moisture and be susceptible to damage. Concrete blocks with a tile finish were utilized for the walls and bar front. The floor was coated with an epoxy finish and emblazoned with the department’s shield.
“I have been telling people that marvel at the work in the back room that this is a rare “low bid” success story. We could not be happier. You and your team, especially Chris, have been incredible. From Scott down to Bob (the contractors), who performed most of the work, everyone was just wonderful and the attention to detail was great.”
Gregg Cariddi, Chief of Department River Edge Volunteer Fire Department
It has been 30 years since the inception of our company. Many thanks to our clients, family and friends for helping us reach this great milestone!
