Requirements: Military installation security protocols, preservation standards
The Challenge
Marine Barracks Washington at 8th and I Streets SE is the oldest active Marine Corps post, established in 1801. The compound includes the Home of the Commandant and ceremonial buildings featuring marble floors, terrazzo corridors, brick masonry, and polished metal fixtures. As both a working military installation and ceremonial landmark, every surface must meet exacting standards.
Our Approach
Historic marble floors restored through careful diamond honing and polishing. Terrazzo polishing and crack repair in administrative buildings. Brick repointing using lime-based mortar matching original construction. Brass and bronze ceremonial fixtures polished and coated. All crew processed through military security. Work scheduled around ceremonial events and formations.
The Result
Historic surfaces restored to presentation standards befitting the Corps’ most visible installation.
