It has become the historical focal point of Long Island scenery. It also has been subject to the most brutal weather conditions because of its location, leading to its severe deterioration. When New York State needed to perform repairs, their engineers reached out to Boccia to survey the structure and recommend restoration procedures. Collectively, the team at Boccia has well over 300 years of accumulated experience in masonry restoration and have the expertise that was required to evaluate the Jones Beach Tower. They identified the extent of repairs necessary and prepared a scope of work. Cathedral of the Incarnation

It is the seat of the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island and was built as a tribute to Alexander Stewart, the founder of the Village. Modeled after and rivaling the great cathedrals of Europe, its architectural splendor is magnificent. When accessibility rules required modifications to be made so everyone could enjoy it, they retained the experts at Boccia. Knowing Boccia has the unique advantage of generations of expertise to draw upon, The Diocese was confident their work would conform and compliment the original design and construction of a new entrance ramp. Executive Towers at Lido

It offers all the amenities that the most discerning person may desire along with being at the doorstep of the fine sands of the most desirable beach on Long Island. Unfortunately, this attribute is also its drawback because the salt laden moisture air wreaks havoc on the building’s metal components. This was the case with the balconies around the Executive Towers at Lido. After being subjected to harsh seaside conditions, the steel supporting the balconies corroded to a point where they no longer provided the structural support they were designed for. Boccia came to the rescue and methodically dismantled the balcony concrete encasement so the steel could be replaced. Their team performed complicated procedures and used innovative methods to restore the balconies suspended from the sides of the building, bringing them back to safe and sound conditions so they can be enjoyed for future years.

Boccia performed probes of the vulnerable locations, identified deficiencies and designed a scope of work to correct the defects. They were then charged with the task of implementing the work. They disassembled the masonry and installed unique flashing details of their own design which could be installed with minimal disruption to the inhabitants. Upon completion, it would be hard to identify where the work was performed. The building was made dry by the specialists at Boccia so it could continue in its purpose of giving back to so many who have given so much.

It is located on the waterfront of the North Shore of Long Island, also known as The Gold Coast. In the 1970’s, the engineers charged with maintaining the facilities were inundated with ground water in numerous buildings, some of which had historical significance of their own.

Cur of Ars Church

Once degradation starts, it is only a matter of time that the building envelope is breached by the elements. The current congregants were not going to let that happen on their watch and hired Boccia to perform a complete restoration of the Church from the ground to the parapet. Restoring and sealing all of the masonry elements so many more years of many blessed events could take place.
