1 Columbia Street — parapet flashing, stairwell repairs & window sealing

Cass Hill Development Co. · Albany, NY

Prime contractor (repeat client)

Restoration & waterproofing

Before: the parapet and coping from the roof, June 2026
Before: the parapet and coping from the roof, June 2026

Scope

Pipe scaffold access with netting to replace the parapet flashing on a downtown mixed-use building; interior water-damage repairs in the Stair 2 stairwell (cement plaster basecoat, sheetrock, plaster and paint); exterior perimeter sealing at three windows.

Challenge
During the flashing work the crew found siding installed directly over bare sheathing with no water-resistive barrier — a condition outside the contract that explained the leaks.
Solution
Written notice with photos the same day, a recommended fix (remove siding, install a WRB, re-clad), and the contracted flashing scope completed without over-promising on the outcome.
Result
All three scopes complete and invoiced September 2026.
