Faribault City Hall
Project Description
When City Hall of Faribault called we listened! They were concerned the contractor hired to re-point the west elevation lacked the necessary expertise to properly complete the work. After a few meetings, RSI was contracted to repoint the wall. The building was built in 1892 with a unique brick with a red 3/16″ mortar joint. We modified our cutting tools to the proper thickness/depth, had the mortar analyzed then pretinted to match original. We completed the work in (3) three weeks and were contracted for an additional side last year.
