About the Prjoect

Our 2016 EIC award was for a large balcony restoration project in Elmhurst, IL. Situated on the sides of a mid-rise condominium building, the project was to restore approximately 72 cast in place balconies. Our team was tasked with identifying failed concrete on the balconies. Once removed, we replaced the failed concrete and re-enforcement with specialized patching material. Following a thorough cleaning, a proper coating was applied to all exposed surfaces.  A pedestrian traffic coating system for the top side of the balconies, and a breathable acrylic coating on the bottom. Additionally, all sealants were replaced prior to coating giving the balconies a superior new waterproofing system. We accessed the balconies with a combination of 2 swing stages and 4 boom lifts. All materials were specified BASF - Master Builders Solutions, and were provided by the team at Glenrock Company in Elmhurst, IL.

The J.S. Goray Inc. team worked very closely with the the condominium board on every step of the project and from what we are told, the residents are all very pleased with the refreshed balconies our firm was able to provide for them.

We would like to thank everyone involved in the project, especially our teams that were onsite day in and day out.
