Advanced Restoration provides building restoration for commercial and historic properties in South Milwaukee, Milwaukee, and the surrounding areas. Older masonry buildings can develop failing mortar joints, cracked brick, damaged concrete, and other exterior problems after decades of exposure to Wisconsin weather. We help property managers address these conditions with restoration work focused on maintaining the building’s structure, exterior materials, and architectural character.
Building Restoration for South Milwaukee Properties
South Milwaukee has a strong industrial and architectural history that remains visible throughout the community. The city’s history is closely connected to the Bucyrus Company, which arrived in South Milwaukee in 1893 and helped shape the community for generations. Today, its historic Bucyrus Club building remains part of that story. The City of South Milwaukee also recognizes numerous historic structures within its downtown district as part of its long-term planning efforts. Property managers can learn more through the city’s downtown plan.
Older commercial buildings require careful attention because exterior deterioration can develop gradually. Cracked mortar, damaged masonry units, open joints, deteriorated sealants, and other visible changes can allow moisture to affect additional areas of the exterior. Identifying these conditions early gives property managers a clearer picture of what needs attention and which areas may require continued maintenance. For brick, stone, and other masonry deterioration, learn more about our masonry restoration services.
Services for Commercial and Historic Buildings
Advanced Restoration works with brick, stone, concrete, and other exterior building materials commonly found on older structures. Our restoration options include repairing or reconstructing deteriorated masonry when existing materials have reached the point where corrective work is needed.
Mortar joints are another important part of an aging masonry exterior. Through mortar joint work, we can remove deteriorated mortar and replace it with new mortar that coordinates with the existing masonry. This can improve the condition and appearance of the wall while helping preserve its history and character. When mortar joints begin to crack or deteriorate, tuckpointing and repointing can help restore the masonry and limit further water intrusion.
For properties with architectural or historical significance, the goal often extends beyond correcting visible deterioration. Advanced Restoration provides preservation work that considers original materials and craftsmanship when restoration decisions are made. The company also offers concrete restoration, facade cleaning, flashing repair and installation, caulking and sealant replacement, exterior waterproof membranes, lintel repair and replacement, and facade inspection.
For older or historically significant properties, our historic building preservation services focus on protecting original materials and architectural character whenever possible.
A Proactive Plan for Older Masonry
Commercial restoration should begin with an understanding of the building’s current condition. A damaged section of brick or mortar may be easy to see, but other exterior components can also contribute to ongoing deterioration. When reviewing an older property, consider flashing, sealants, lintels, concrete, and exposed facade materials.
This broader view is especially useful for property managers responsible for long-term maintenance planning. Addressing developing problems before deterioration becomes more extensive can help preserve original materials and reduce avoidable disruption. For historic buildings, careful restoration also helps retain the craftsmanship and architectural details that give the structure its identity.
