The Clock Tower Project

After reviewing several options for restoring the limestone facade of Kankakee ’s Arcade Building, Heritage Development & Construction, Inc selected a solution proposed by the Concrete Resurfacing Network.

A specialty exterior wall cement product called VERTACRETE® which is made with a proprietary blend of acrylic polymers, cement, and various aggregates, was chosen as the product to be used on the resurfacing part of a $4 million dollar restoration project called: “The Clock Tower Centre”

This One Hundred Twenty Three year old architectural gem was resurfaced with a smooth hard trowel finish to repair two sides and create one entirely new exterior wall matching the original adjacent limestone.

Pied Piper Construction, LLC a CRN certified installer was selected as the contractor for the project in which 12,000 square feet of Limestone was resurfaced and sealed with a specialty subsurface sealer called STUCCOSHIELD™.

This resurfacing project provides a beautiful addition to the overall restoration of downtown Kankakee , IL .
