Over the past 70 years, several additions were added to the 1928 structure of the Stedman School Building in Stedman, NC. As is typical in older masonry buildings, age and exposure to the elements necessitated the repointing of the mortar joints.

Time was the biggest hurdle to overcome on this project. The School Board wanted the work to commence after school ended in late June and completed before the students came back in early September. As the specialty restoration contractor, Western Waterproofing worked with the project architect, the firm of Thomas Goetz.

Several types of brick and joint profiles were dealt with, and 100% repointing was accomplished on more than half of the building. The work was completed on time and with no additional charge orders.
