Our Challenge

At St. Mary Church in Stamford, a historic structure built in the 1920s, Frank Capasso & Sons performed a comprehensive exterior renovation to restore and preserve the integrity of this architecturally significant building. The church features intricate pre-cast unreinforced concrete decorative elements, including niches, bands, cornices, and friezes, as well as precast window jambs, arches, mullions, and tracery. The scope of work included full mobilization and demolition of the aging slate roof, copper gutters, and leaders. Facade cleaning and meticulous repointing restored the masonry while maintaining its original character. Damaged precast stone elements were carefully removed and replicated to match historic details. A new slate roof was installed, and window sealing was completed to ensure long-term protection against the elements. These renovations ensure the continued preservation and functionality of St. Mary Church while honoring the craftsmanship and historical significance of its original design.
