The work — named the old way

Not cards. A compact list, the way the office typed it on letterhead. Joints cut to depth. Mortar matched. Parapets and shelf angles called out by name.

From the boards

Letters we still keep on the wall

They staged the west elevation around our occupied units and left the sidewalk cleaner than the city sweeper. ASTM mortar match was in the bid, not a change order.
— R. Feldman, community manager, FirstService · Central Ave condos

Facade ordinance letter, lintel schedule, and a Saturday walk-through with the board. That is how you keep a 1920s building standing.
— Deacon Hall, facilities, Highland Park church on Laurel

We have used AAA on three buildings. Parapet, I-beam, then the alley wall. Same three masons each time: Adam, Mark, Lucas.
— S. Patel, property manager · Green Bay corridor

They told us the limestone did not need replacing. Just the joints and the through-wall flash. Rare, and correct.
— Board president, Sheridan Rd co-op

Water is the enemy. Joints, lintels, parapets — in that order. We pull permits when the city asks and we write the scope so a property manager can forward it without rewriting it.
