Saint Mary's Church First Floor Framing Repairs
St. Mary’s Church under went targeted repairs to reinforce existing building systems and support the next phase of restoration work. The project focused on strengthening structural elements, improving below-grade conditions, and completing supporting infrastructure upgrades to help maintain the building’s long-term performance.

At St. Mary’s Church, Berglund completed a focused restoration effort to stabilize and strengthen key elements of the building’s first-floor structure. The work included wood framing repairs to first-floor joists, tuckpointing at brick pilasters and stone foundation walls, and installation of a new underdrain system to help address moisture concerns below grade. A new slab-on-grade was also  installed in the basement to support the long-term performance of the space. Electrical work was completed to support the broader restoration activities and maintain coordination across trades. Together, these improvements support the ongoing restoration work while addressing critical structural and infrastructure needs.
