EVOLUTIONS - NEW TECHNOLOGY
SAVING MONEY ON CAPITAL INVESTMENTS
We, at CSCI, with over forty years of Building Restoration experience, have developed what we refer to as “New Technology.”
Through our continuous involvement with stone and metal restoration, we have been able to combine cutting-edge products with advanced techniques. These techniques include many certifications from professional organizations as well as hands-on training.
Our vast service history has given us the ability to combine, in a single platform, a range of services that enhance areas of your property with protection from the elements such as water intrusion, salt and wear & tear.
Thus, we can diagnose and offer a complete package of services for any building’s needs. This cuts down the need to replace HVAC systems, decrease time and effort on exterior & interior maintence or cleaning and adds longevity to many areas of your property and keeping the original appearance and color as originally intended.
This allows building management to enjoy the following benefits under one umbrella:
1) Lower cost of proper building maintenance
2) Moisture control of exterior surfaces
3) Heating and cooling maximization
4) Architectural repair and longevity
5) Longer-lasting and correct products for each need
Doing things right will add to the life expectancy of your buildings, lower future repair costs, and make ongoing maintenance easier.

Our Platform & Partners
NASA DEVELOPED CORROSION, ARCHITECTURAL COMPONENT PROTECTION
HVAC PROTECTION
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS DECREASE THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF HVAC SYSTEMS WITHOUT PROPER PROTECTION. MICROGUARD HAS BEEN INDEPENDENTLY LAB TESTED TO WITHSTAND MORE THAN 50,000 HOURS IN A SALT TANK WITH NO DECREASE IN ITS ORIGINAL APPLICATION. IMAGINE HOW LONG YOUR HVAC SYSTEMS WILL LAST SAVING YOU MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REPLACEMENT COSTS.
HARD SURFACE PROTECTION
FADED, TIRED, WORN OUT LOOK TO FLOORING OR HARDSCAPES INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR WITH UV PROTECTION KEEPING THE ORIGINAL COLOR OR INTENT INTACT FOR MANY YEARS. ALSO THE NON STICK SURFACE ELIMINATES THE NEED TO POWER WASH OR USE CHEMICALS FOR CLEANING. GUM, SAP, SHOES PRINTS, WHEEL MARKS, DRINKS, OR CHEMICAL SPILLS DO NOT AFFECT THIS PERFORMANCE FOR MANY YEARS. SAVING ON MAINTENANCE OR REPLACEMENT.
MULTIPLE APPEAL
USING THE MATTE FINISH TONES DOWN THE BRIGHT SHINY ORIGINAL HARD SURFACE WHEN APPLIED. IT STILL HAS THE SAME PROPERTIES OF THE HARD SURFACE BUT ALLOWS FOR A MUTED TONE IN AREAS WHERE IT IS DESIRED.
ARCHITECTURAL COMPONENT PROTECTION
SALTY ENVIROMENTS OR ANY EXTERIOR OR INTERIOR SPACES OR COMPONENTS BECOME IMPERVIOUS TO CORROSION AND KEEP THESE COMPONENT LASTING AND LOOKING GOOD FOR MANY MANY YEARS WITH VERY LOW MAINTENANCE SAVING MONEY
ANTI-SKID
ALTHOUGH ALL HARD SURFACES PROTECTED BY MICROGUARD HAVE THE HIGHEST NON SKID PERFORMANCE, YOU CAN OPT FOR ADDING THE NONSKID FOR ADDED PROTECTION YET NOT COMPROMISING ON THE HARD SURFACE PROTECTION
MICROGUARD MULTI SURFACE PROTECTION

PICTURED ABOVE, MICROGUARD ON TERRAZZO, COPPER, URETHANE, PAINT & EPOXY FLOORING. MICROGUARD IS THE "ONE & DONE" SOLUTION FOR MANY SURFACES THAT KEEPS THEM LOOKIING GOOD FOR MANY YEARS WITH VERY LOW UPKEEP. SIMPLE WIPING WITH NEUTRAL CLEANERS. WHEN INSTALLED ON FLOORING OR CONCRETE; WHEEL MARKS, GUM, STICKER LABELS, SHOE MARKS AND SO ON DO NOT STICK TO THIS SURFACE PROTECTED WITH MICROGUARD. IT ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR HEAVY INDUSTRIAL CLEANING EFFORTS SUCH AS POWER WASHING OR SCRAPING.
Cathedral Stone Potassium silicate masonry coloring
SUPERIOR MOISTURE CONTROL
FOR YEARS, MANY MASONRY, CONCRETE OR OTHER RELATED BUILDINGS HAVE BEEN COVERED IN LATEX PAINTS OR ELASTOMERIC COATINGS. THESE COATINGS TRAP MOISTURE INSIDE YOUR BUILDING LEADING TO MOLD & MILDEW. USING POTASSIUM SILICATE ALLOWS FOR THIS INTERIOR MOISTURE TO ESCAPE FROM THE INTERIOR TO THE EXTERIOR IN VAPOR FORM. POTASSIUM SILICATE CAN BE COLOR MATCHED TO ANY HUE JUST LIKE PAIINT. IT LASTS UP TO 40 YEARS AND CAN BE EASILY BE REAPPLIED WITH JUST A SMPLE CLEANING.
COLOR SAMPLES
ABOVE SHOW SAOME COLORS FOR POTASSIUM SILICATE. HOWEVER, WE CAN HAVE EXACT COLOR MATCHES MADE IN ANY PARTCULAR HUE DESIRED.
R 97 MASONRY SEALANT
R 97 MASONRY SEALANT
The most masonry-compatible water repellent available. Engineered to not breakdown in UV light, and so will last much longer that silane/siloxane masonry water repellents. THIS PRODCUT HAS A 97% PERM
R-97 can be applied to any masonry/stone surface, including: brick, grout, mortar, concrete, unpolished marble, limestone, brownstone, sandstone, tile.
This water repellent works by penetrating the substrate. It is not topical. After being absorbed, R-97 establishes a powerful chemical network within the substrate pores -- keeping moisture and oil out. In addition to keeping treated surfaces dry and making them easy to clean, R-97 does not block the pores, permitting essential vapor transmission and compatibility.
This water-based composition is odorless and leaves a natural finish (no sheen). The cured surface can be cleaned and can act as a protective layer against debris, pollutants, and graffiti.
JAHN MORTARS BY CATHEDRAL STONE PRODUCTS
COLOR MATCHED MORTAR REPAIR
ABOVE IS AN EXAMPLE OF JAHN MORTAR COLOR MATCHED THAT REPAIRED A STEP AT A BUSY RESTAURANT. OLDER REPAIR WAS DONE WITH A STANDARD CONCRETE MORTAR THT HAS NO COLOR AND IS WEAKER THAT JAHN AND FELL INTO DISREPAIR. ALL HARDSCAPES CAN BE DONE LIKE THIS REPAIR AND PROTECTED WITH MICROGUARD
JAHN MORTAR & MICROGUARD
ABOVE IS THE BEFORE AND AFTER AT ANOTHER BUSY RESTAURANT/BAR. THIS STEP WAS MADE WITH COLORED CONCRETE THAT HAD BECOME DAMAGED. IT WAS EASILY REPAIRED WITH JAHN COLORED MORTAR AND THEN A FINAL MICROGUARD TOPCOAT TO PROTECT THE REPAIR. MICROGUARD'S UV PROTECTION KEEPS THE COLOR INTACT FOR MANY YEARS AND ADDS ANTI SKID TO THE SURFACE SINCE IT IS OUTDOORS AND BECOMES WET FROM ENVIRONMENT.
JAHN MORTAR HARDSCAPE REPAIR
JAHN MORTAR HARDSCAPE REPAIR
THIS WALL BORDER CRACKED OVER TIME AND FILLED WITH DIRT AND BECAME A WEED INFESTED BROKEN WALL. STAINS FROM RUST ALGAE AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL STAINING ARE VISIBLE. JAHN MORTAR WAS USED TO REPAIR THE WALL AND SPECIALIZED RESTORATION CHEMICALS WERE USED TO REMOVE ALL TYPES OF STAINS INCUDING RUST. (ROA 1 CONSTITUTION AVE WASH, D.C. IS PICTURED)
