Boston – A two-phased masonry restoration and building renovation project is underway at 422 Columbia Road and 466/468 Columbia Road, Boston. Both properties are under the management of Maloney Properties, Inc. of Wellesley.
The design plan submitted by RMX Northeast, Inc. of Milford encompasses a large-scale repair to deteriorated concrete sills and lintels along with miscellaneous brick repairs at 422 Columbia Road, as well as a complete façade restoration at 466/468 Columbia Road.
Two elevations of the 466/468 Columbia Road façade are being completely renovated with a new exterior skin and metal panel installation with the remainder of the property being fully repointed, and the concrete sills and lintels replaced.
Following an extensive bidding process, Abbot Building Restoration Co., Inc. was selected as the masonry contractor on the project.
According to Abbot vice president and director of field operations, Steven Diodati, “Abbot’s ability to fast track the project enabled us to complete the major portion of the Phase 1 renovation work before the cold winter weather set in.”
Renovations at 422 Columbia Road were completed ahead of schedule.
The Phase 2 portion of the project is scheduled for completion in the Spring of 2012.
