Balcony Restoration and Repair

Balcony Restoration and Repair

Balconies are vital to your building. They provide architectural appeal and a space for people to access the outdoors. A balcony also serves practical uses, such as a means of fire egress.

All these applications mean a balcony must be structurally sound while offering visual appeal. Over time, a balcony may deteriorate, detracting from its look and function. Our restoration and repair services can balance these factors on your commercial or historical building.

Structural Restoration Services, Inc. blends preservation, structural integrity, and aesthetic considerations during restoration projects. We’re a trusted and experienced restoration contractor.

Our comprehensive services address every detail of the balcony restoration process. We begin by visiting your building to confirm the scope of the work and develop a proposal. Depending on the structural state of your balcony, we can work with a qualified structural engineer to ensure the repairs are appropriate. Then, we begin work on the balcony with all the required stages, from removing and replacing existing deteriorated materials to performing metal fabrication and concrete pours.

Our past work includes many historical and commercial restoration projects. We bring that knowledge to your balcony repairs.

3 Things to Know About Balcony Restoration

Restoring a balcony involves particular considerations. At SRS, we explain every detail of the process, so you know what to expect. Here are a few essential points about balcony restoration to know before seeking services.

1. Safety and Materials

Before and during restoration, we will assess your balcony structure for risks so that it meets safety guidelines. We will consider details like railings, slip resistance, emergency access and your balcony’s weight-bearing capability. Regarding longevity, when appropriate we will choose restoration materials that add durability to your structure while providing aesthetic appeal.

2. Assessment and Compliance

A balcony structure must meet local building codes for railings, load-bearing capabilities and proper egress. During the restoration process, we will consider these details and obtain guidance from a structural engineer, if required.

A historical structure may require additional compliance, including particular preservation guidelines. Our experience in restoring historical structures allows us to meet these demands, including using original materials and techniques to maintain your balcony’s original architectural style.

3. Structural Repairs

Balconies can endure various structural damage over time, such as cracks, rot, or rust. Part of our restoration process involves working with a structural engineer to assess the current state of existing materials. Based on our assessment, we can develop restoration and reinforcement techniques for the balcony.

Depending on the existing materials, repair options may include steel bracing or carbon fiber reinforcement. Sometimes, we may need to replace structural elements for added durability or to be in compliance with code.
