CURTAIN WALL
REPAIR & SERVICES
IN FRISCO, TX.
HALL Park's 17 Class A buildings are 15+ years old. The Star opened in 2016 and is approaching its standard 10-year curtain wall inspection interval. Frisco's hail corridor delivered 2.75-inch stones in April 2024. The city's glass-intensive commercial inventory is entering its first major maintenance cycle — and competing against brand-new buildings in Fields and Frisco Station.
What Curtain Wall Repair Includes
Comprehensive curtain wall restoration for Class A commercial facilities — from wet seal replacement to full panel and infill work.
Wet Seal Replacement
Removal of failed silicone wet seal from curtain wall framing, substrate preparation, and installation of new commercial-grade silicone matched to joint design and movement requirements. The primary weather barrier on most curtain wall systems.
HALL Park's earliest buildings — 15+ years old — are past the standard wet seal replacement cycle. The Star's 91-acre campus is approaching its 10-year inspection interval. Proactive replacement preserves Class A designation and avoids the water damage remediation costs that dwarf the repair itself.
Gasket & Dry Glazing Repair
Compression gaskets in dry-glazed curtain wall systems harden and lose sealing contact over time. We replace deteriorated EPDM and neoprene glazing gaskets at perimeter and interlock locations — restoring the pressure seal that backs up the wet seal system.
On Frisco's glass-intensive Class A buildings — PGA of America's 106,622-sq-ft Texas limestone and glass headquarters, Frisco Station's multi-story office towers — gasket deterioration often occurs before visible seal failure, creating hidden moisture paths that degrade interior finishes and trigger tenant complaints.
Leak Investigation & Diagnosis
Water infiltration rarely enters where it appears inside the building. We use AAMA 501.2 hose testing, visual inspection, and interior moisture mapping to isolate the actual infiltration path before any remediation work begins.
Frisco's hail corridor — 2.75-inch hailstones in April 2024, $7-10B in regional losses from June 2023 storms — creates impact damage to sealant joints that isn't visible from street level but allows progressive moisture entry. Post-storm hose testing on Class A campuses is the only reliable method for identifying affected bays.
Panel & Infill Replacement
Cracked glass lites, damaged spandrel panels, and deteriorated aluminum infill sections require direct replacement to restore both weather performance and the pristine appearance Class A tenants expect. We source replacement glazing and panels matched to existing system profiles.
Frisco's Class A campuses cycle through major corporate tenants — each relocation triggers facade refresh, signage removal, and repair of envelope penetration points. Panel replacement coordinated with full wet seal work provides a complete envelope reset between tenant occupancies.

Why Frisco's Class A Buildings Need Curtain Wall Service Now
Frisco grew 500%+ from 33,828 in 2000 to 200,509 in 2020, producing a large inventory of Class A commercial buildings constructed in the 2000s and 2010s. That inventory is now entering its first major curtain wall maintenance cycle — wet seals and glazing gaskets that have never been replaced on buildings that are 10-20 years old.
The challenge is competitive: new construction continues in Fields, Frisco Station, and The Star expansions. Existing building owners must maintain Class A standards — or risk losing tenants who can move across the street to a building with an unblemished facade.
Frisco's hail exposure adds urgency. The June 2023 DFW hail storms caused $7-10B in insured losses. HALL Park's 17-building campus and The Star's glass-intensive facilities absorbed those events — systematic post-storm curtain wall inspection and re-sealing is now a standard operating requirement for responsible Class A property management.

Curtain Wall Repair FAQ
What causes curtain wall systems to fail on commercial buildings?
Curtain wall failure begins with sealant degradation from UV exposure, thermal cycling, and building movement — wet seals and glazing gaskets have a 10-20 year service life depending on system design and environmental exposure. Frisco's Collin County location places it in a documented hail corridor: the April 2024 event produced 2.75-inch hailstones, and the June 2023 DFW storms caused $7-10B in insured losses with hail accounting for 95% of damage. The high density of glass-curtain-wall buildings in HALL Park, The Star, and Frisco Station makes systematic post-storm inspection a recurring operational need.
How do you diagnose leaks in a curtain wall system?
We use AAMA 501.2 hose testing, visual inspection, and interior moisture mapping to locate actual infiltration paths rather than surface symptoms. On Frisco's Class A multi-story buildings — including HALL Park's 17 buildings totaling 2.2M+ sq ft — leaks often trace to failed horizontal sill wet seals, compromised corner joints, or failed perimeter flashings at the curtain wall-to-structure transition. Accurate diagnosis is essential: in Class A environments, misidentifying the leak source leads to remediation that doesn't solve the problem and damages tenant relationships.
What is wet seal repair for curtain wall systems?
Wet seal repair removes deteriorated silicone from curtain wall framing, prepares aluminum and glass substrates, and installs new commercial-grade silicone matched to joint width and movement requirements. On Class A Frisco buildings — The Star (opened 2016), PGA of America headquarters (opened 2022), and HALL Park's earliest buildings (15+ years) — wet seal replacement is the highest-leverage maintenance action available: it restores full weather tightness at a fraction of curtain wall replacement cost and preserves the building's market position against newer competing inventory.
How often should curtain wall sealants be inspected?
Every 5 years, with replacement on a 15-20 year cycle. The Star opened August 21, 2016 — it is now approaching its 10-year standard inspection interval for curtain wall re-caulking and joint sealant replacement on high-profile Class A facilities. HALL Park's earliest buildings are 15+ years old and may already require wet seal replacement. Frisco's hail exposure means post-storm inspection after any significant event is non-negotiable — impact damage creates micro-fractures in sealant that allow progressive moisture entry.
Can curtain wall repairs be done on occupied high-rise buildings?
Yes — and it's the standard condition for all of Frisco's Class A campuses. The Star, HALL Park, and Frisco Station are fully occupied during repairs. We phase work bay-by-bay to maintain weather tightness on completed sections, use our 56-foot and 72-foot boom trucks for exterior access on mid-rise buildings without scaffolding, and coordinate with building managers to minimize disruption to tenant operations. For multi-building campuses like HALL Park's 17-building portfolio, we develop phased multi-year maintenance programs that address the full portfolio systematically.
