Abbot Restores Condos

Boston – Abbot recently completed restoration of the façade of three attached brick condominium buildings at 24-38 Summit Avenue in Brookline.
When these buildings were converted to condominiums in the 1980s, new replacement windows were installed. Although the windows are technically the responsibility of the condominium unit owners, when the windows recently began to leak the condominium association agreed to recaulk the windows to minimize water seepage into the interior of the units.
The architectural consulting firm of Gorman Richardson Lewis of Hopkinton was hired to evaluate the situation and provide specifications for the repairs.
Abbot was selected as the masonry contractor by the consulting firm. The entire front facades of all three buildings were recaulked to improve the water penetration problem according to the architectural specifications.
