Presto Property Services, Inc. completed the exterior restoration of Lake View One & Two at Sanctuary Park in Alpharetta, Georgia. The project was managed by Jones Lang LaSalle and Choate Construction Co. The entire project was performed using high performance building restoration products created by Presto Restoration Products, Inc.
The two buildings were built in 1996. Despite standard building maintenance the window glass, precast concrete, and aluminum mullions became severely stained.
The exterior glass surfaces were most likely stained as a result of a combination of the following issues:
- Minerals leaching from the precast onto flush mounted window systems.
- Dish Soap used during the window cleaning process
- Tap water used during the window cleaning process
- Unprotected glass surfaces
- Failed water repellents leaching onto the glass

Challenges facing successful performance of this project included cold winter weather, more than average precipitation, and a two month time frame for end of the year completion. Due to exceptional coordination by Choate Construction, and Jones Lang LaSalle’s commitment to an end of the year finish date, our restoration contractors were able to work nights and weekends, in order to get the project finished on time.
The architectural window Glass was restored using the Glass ReSurfacer® System. As you can see in the slideshow, this system produces some of the most impressive results in our industry.
