Hallmark

The Hallmark, owned and operated by Brazos Presbyterian Homes, Inc., is a senior living community nestled in the Galleria area of Houston, Texas. The facility has been serving individuals for four decades, offering independent living, continuing care, assisted living and Alzheimer’s care. Acclaimed as a signature retirement community in Houston, the facility boasts a fine dining room, swimming pool, fitness center, hair salon, library, chapel, community center for events and a putting green.

Over 40 years of weather and time can take its toll, and recently water intrusion at various locations on this 10-story building became apparent. The exterior brick façade also needed to be revitalized. Due to Chamberlin’s experience in remedial construction, professionalism and dedication to safety, JPS Consulting enlisted Chamberlin Roofing & Waterproofing to repair the leaks around the windows and restore the façade.

Since the building was to remain occupied during the repairs and restoration, the protection and respect of the residents and visitors was vital. Chamberlin conducted in-house safety meetings to discuss daily tasks. The crew defined all exclusion zones and utilized the appropriate signage to ensure the safety of all residents, visitors and on-site contractors. Bi-weekly site meetings with The Hallmark representatives, JPS Consulting, Chamberlin’s project manager and superintendent were also part of the project’s success. The potential noise factor and time constraints were concerns as well,­ and Chamberlin developed and maintained a job schedule that catered to The Hallmark’s time frame with minimal disruption for their residents.

The Hallmark representatives were extremely pleased with Chamberlin’s project management and quality work delivered professionally in a timely manner. Chamberlin has subsequently been awarded an additional contract for The Hallmark’s parking garage structural restoration and also enlisted to perform a water leak investigation on another building on the property. Chamberlin is proud to have provided the level of service that develops a customer into a client who entrusts Chamberlin time and again with their roofing and waterproofing needs.
