Specialized techniques are essential to the repair and restoration of terra cotta. Cracking, delamination and spalling can be repaired using specialty materials and coatings specifically matched to that particular piece of stone.

PBGC employs the most advanced methods and materials to deliver superior value to our clients. The repair process may include patching, epoxy injections, polyresin grout injections, salvage and replacement with new terra cotta or a substitute material as in GFRC. All stone repair includes the same fixes as terra cotta in addition to patching, detachments and resurfacing.

The Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) consists of an insulation board attached adhesively or mechanically, or both, to a substrate, a reinforced base coat, and textured protective finish coat. It is a non-load bearing, exterior wall cladding system that has become one of the most tested and well-researched product of its kind in the construction industry. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Department of Energy have validated EIFS as the «best performing cladding» for thermal and moisture control when compared to brick, stucco, and cementitious fiberboard siding. EIFS is also in full compliance with modern building codes which emphasize energy conservation through the use of CI (continuous insulation) and a continuous air barrier.

PBGC has successfully installed EIFS into many modern apartment buildings and retail spaces. Most recently, we have fitted a residential building in Tribeca with EIFS to create a beautiful and energy efficient building.
