Capabilities
Abbot provides a broad range of masonry construction services to public, institutional, and commercial clients, including condominiums, property management entities, and private residences. The firm also acts as a general contractor for a variety of masonry building construction projects.

No matter the size of the building, Abbot is dedicated to providing solutions to building deficiency problems related to climate conditions (freeze/thaw cycles) and other weather exposure issues, sealant failures, and normal “wear and tear” deficiencies that must be addressed to properly maintain an aging structure.

Their Commitment
Abbot is committed to providing effective single source solutions, quality workmanship, the utmost safety, and devoted customer service on each and every project. They assist their customers in understanding the existing conditions that should be addressed before these issues become larger, more complex problems.

Toward that end, they develop preventive maintenance plans to meet the specific need of each customer based on specific property conditions and cost considerations. These plans provide building owners and property managers with a road map to prioritize, budget, and perform required maintenance pro-actively.

Further, their efficient operations team allows them to “fast track” projects to meet tight production schedules.
