When RestoreWorks Masonry Restoration was brought in to address recurring window leaks at Porter County’s 911 Call Center and Probation Office, they quickly identified the culprit: deteriorating EIFS copings allowing water intrusion. With damage already affecting the interior, a reliable, long-term flashing solution was critical.
RestoreWorks turned to a trusted product they’d used before at the NuFarm’s Chicago Heights Facility —TotalFlash® from Keene Building Products.
“They had almost a dozen 5’ lintels prepped and flashed in a day. I think we’re saving at least a third, maybe closer to half of our time on flashing. The whole system is really phenomenal.”
– Christian Kundel, RestoreWorks.
TotalFlash’s pre-assembled panel design streamlined the process. Crews were able to install the complete flashing system—including the membrane, drainage mat, weep tabs, drip edge, and termination bar—with minimal learning curve and maximum efficiency. For a restoration job with repetitive lintel openings, this time-saving system made all the difference.
Beyond saving labor, RestoreWorks appreciated the simplicity of the ordering process, calling it a “one-paper” solution that reduced administrative burden and jobsite complexity.
Keene Building Products’ technical support also played a key role in the project’s success. From early product samples to on-call assistance and lunch-and-learn meetings, Keene’s Steven Fechino made sure the RestoreWorks team had what they needed before, during, and after installation.
