Roof and Masonry Repair, First National Bank

The bank building was essentially vacant since the Agnes Flood of 1972 and there was no evidence of any major maintenance conducted in its past. The City of Wilkes-Barre, the buildings’ current owner, selected Quad3 to conduct an initial phase for restoration, to be essentially completed through a fast track process by the end of the year.

Work included a cursory review of the building’s masonry condition and a plan for an exterior renovation of the rear brick addition including masonry parapet reconstruction, brick repointing, a new EPDM rubber roof and a skylight replacement.

Additionally, some structural deficiencies on the front building façade were stabilized, and roof drains in the main structure opened and reconstructed in preparation for a future second phase that will address the main building roof and masonry restoration.
