Facade Inspection Assistance
We provide comprehensive façade inspection assistance, managing everything from permits, site protection, and pedestrian safety to specialized access solutions such as rope access, scaffolding, and aerial lifts.
Specialty Services
At Dugan Restoration, façade and building envelope maintenance has long been a core focus of our work. In response to the City of Philadelphia’s Façade Ordinance—which mandates façade inspections every five years for buildings over six stories—we provide comprehensive support services to leading architectural and engineering firms throughout the region.
Our team offers safe, efficient access via suspended swing scaffolding, high-reach equipment, and SPRAT-certified rope access, as well as hands-on technical expertise for design professionals conducting inspections. We also assist with cost estimating based on inspection findings and provide recommendations to help guide repair planning and budgeting.
If safety concerns or other serious conditions are identified during the inspection process, we’re equipped to deliver emergency façade stabilization and hazard mitigation services to quickly protect your building, its inhabitants, the public, and to ensure compliance.
St. Michael’s Church
At St. Michael’s Church, our team provided safe access and exploratory removals to assess underlying masonry conditions, coordinated site access for restoration review and documentation, installed protective containment netting at the church towers, and completed critical make-safe repairs based on the engineer’s facade assessment.
