PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

Oceans Five, a 50-year-old association, experienced damage during the 2022 hurricanes. A full balcony replacement was deemed necessary due to advanced chloride contamination after nearly 50 years in a corrosive coastal environment.

Working with Keystone Engineering & Consulting, they underwent restoration to repair the hurricane damage and restore the integrity and appearance of the building.
