Exterior Designs, Inc. has recently completed a major exterior renovation of the
tallest standing building in Vermont. Decker Towers, located at 230 St. Paul Street in
Burlington, VT, is 11 stories high and holds more than 160 units. The building was built
in 1971 and purchased by the city of Burlington. Currently, it is owned and operated by
the Burlington Housing Authority.
The renovations included the removal of more than 550 aged windows and replacing
them with new energy efficient units. In conjunction with the window replacement,
33,000 square feet of EIFS was enhanced by increasing the thickness of the insulation
and applying a new exterior top-coat to give the 1971 building an updated appearance.
The challenges of a project like this were combined with an aggressive schedule. In
addition, the building was fully occupied and functioning for the entire duration of
the renovations!! Exterior Designs, Inc. accommodated the tenants and the Burlington
Housing Authority given the special circumstances of this project managing to finish
ahead of schedule!
Exterior Designs, Inc. is based out of Manchester, NH. A leader in the commercial
cladding industry, they have skills and resources proven to handle complete façade
renovations. They recently added this project to a list of other large renovations around
