Muscatine Central Middle School at 403 E. 9th Street has limestone that needed attention as part of the school's Phase 2 improvements.

Limestone wears in its own way. Edges round off, faces spall, and pieces can come loose. A good stone repair rebuilds the missing stone with a repair mortar that matches the original in color, texture and how it weathers. A patch that doesn't match stands out, and it often doesn't last.

Working from a boom lift, we repaired the damaged limestone so the stone stays sound and the repairs blend in with the building.

This is the kind of work we do on schools and campuses in Muscatine: stone repair.
