Our team proudly contributed to the Jerseyville Public Library’s building addition, which nearly doubled the facility’s size while honoring its historic Carnegie style. On the exterior, our plastering crew expertly applied EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) to look similar the original stonework. Trying to get EIFS - STO Limestone texture - to replicate the pattern of the existing limestone block made this project uniquely challenging. This smooth texture, difficult even on simple walls, was applied across 6,250SF of EIFS but had 5,200 linear feet of cut on site V-grooves, creating 1,530ea rectangular blocks (typical 10” x 36”) to mimic real limestone. 1,470ea V grooves hand cut were 10” long or less.
Inside, our skilled carpenters and tapers were hard at work framing new walls and ceilings, installing drywall, and finishing surfaces with precision taping. We also installed the acoustical ceilings on the project. We are super grateful to be a part of this project and huge thanks to our dedicated carpenters, tapers and plasterers for their craftmanship and care!
