EXTERIOR BUILDING
REPAIR & RESTORATION
IN SHERMAN, TX.
Sherman's $35 billion semiconductor investment is bringing new construction, new workforce, and new tenant demand — while a downtown commercial core where the median building dates to 1980 faces 40-plus years of accumulated facade deterioration. Whether you're restoring a historic Travis Street property or protecting a new Progress Park facility, the window to act is now.
What Exterior Building Repair Includes
Full-scope exterior repair and restoration for commercial facilities — from spall repair to full cladding system restoration.
Concrete Repair & Patching
Spall repair, crack injection, and structural concrete restoration for walls, columns, beams, and lintels. We remove deteriorated concrete to a sound substrate, treat exposed rebar to halt corrosion, and apply engineered repair mortars rated for the structural demand and exposure conditions.
Sherman's older commercial buildings — particularly along US-82 and the downtown historic district — show corrosion-driven concrete spalling at lintels, column bases, and slab edges where original reinforcement lacked adequate cover depth by modern standards.
Masonry & Brick Repair
Tuckpointing, brick replacement, lintel repair, and mortar joint restoration. We match mortar color, joint profile, and brick dimensions to existing conditions — essential for Sherman's Heritage Row Historical District and other properties reviewed by the Historical Preservation Board.
The Paul Brown U.S. Courthouse (1907 Renaissance Revival), the Sherman Museum in the 1914 Carnegie Library, and the Jazz Museum in the former Masonic Lodge all represent the standard of masonry craftsmanship Sherman's historic district requires. We apply the same precision to adjacent commercial masonry properties.
Stucco & EIFS Repair
Crack repair, delamination correction, and moisture barrier restoration for synthetic and traditional stucco systems. We address substrate damage — not just surface appearance — including drainage mat replacement and weather-resistive barrier restoration where compromised.
Sherman has experienced 41 hail events in the past 12 months — impact damage to EIFS systems is common and often not visible from grade. We probe delaminated sections and map damage extent before developing a repair scope that addresses the full affected area.
Metal & Panel Cladding Repair
Corrosion treatment, panel replacement, fastener restoration, and joint re-sealing for metal panel, ACM, and composite cladding systems. We address the full assembly — substrate, fasteners, sealant, and panel finish — not just the visible surface defect.
Industrial and commercial buildings in Progress Park (3,300 acres), Midway Industrial Park (300 acres, rail-served), and the Texoma Technology Park rely on metal panel systems that require periodic joint re-sealing and fastener inspection to maintain weather tightness.

Why Sherman Buildings Need Exterior Repair Now
Sherman's commercial building stock spans more than a century — from the 1907 Paul Brown U.S. Courthouse to the $30 billion Texas Instruments semiconductor campus that began production in late 2025. The median commercial building dates to 1980, placing the majority of the city's inventory at or past 46 years — well beyond the typical service life of original facade systems, mortar joints, and waterproofing.
The $35 billion semiconductor investment is driving demand for tenant-ready commercial space, and older buildings face direct competition from the new construction it attracts. Wilson N. Jones Regional Medical Center (est. 1914, 237 beds) and Austin College (est. 1849, $83M annual economic impact) represent the institutional building stock — mixed-era campuses with accumulated deferred exterior maintenance that we're experienced at addressing systematically.
Located just 16 miles from our Whitesboro headquarters, Sherman is in our core service area. We've worked on commercial and institutional buildings across Grayson County and understand the specific challenges — from the clay soils that pressure foundation walls to the severe weather corridor that delivers more than 40 hail events annually.

Exterior Building Repair FAQ
What types of exterior building damage require professional repair?
Concrete spalling, deteriorated mortar joints, stucco cracking, and metal panel corrosion all require professional assessment before repair. In Sherman, the range of building ages makes this question especially important: the downtown historic district has structures from the late 1800s with original masonry, while Progress Park's industrial buildings are newly constructed. The failure modes differ by age — historic masonry requires careful tuckpointing and mortar matching, while newer stucco and EIFS systems show joint failure and delamination. Sherman's 41 hail reports in the past 12 months alone mean post-storm inspection is a standard part of any facility maintenance plan.
How do you determine if exterior damage is structural or cosmetic?
We examine crack patterns, depth, and activity before touching any substrate. On Sherman's historic buildings — including structures along the Heritage Row Historical District on S. Crockett Street — we probe mortar joint depth, assess lintel condition, and evaluate whether cracking is settlement-related or surface shrinkage. On newer commercial buildings near Progress Park or the TI semiconductor campus, we focus on cladding assembly integrity and drainage plane condition. A written assessment with documented findings and photographs precedes any repair recommendation.
Can exterior repairs be done while the building remains occupied?
Yes — phased scheduling is standard for occupied commercial and institutional buildings. Sherman's downtown properties, Wilson N. Jones Regional Medical Center, and Austin College campus buildings all remain operational during exterior work. We use our 56' and 72' boom trucks to access upper elevations without scaffolding that blocks entrances, and sequence work by building face to maintain pedestrian and vehicle access at all times.
What is the typical scope of a commercial exterior building repair project?
For Sherman's older commercial stock — with a median year built of 1980 and downtown buildings predating that by decades — a typical project includes tuckpointing, lintel treatment, concrete spall repair at lintels and sills, stucco crack repair, and sealant joint replacement. For newer industrial and commercial buildings in Progress Park and the Texoma Technology Park, scope is more limited: sealant replacement, concrete edge repair at loading dock areas, and panel joint re-sealing. We tailor scope to actual conditions, not assumptions.
How does deferred exterior maintenance affect a building's value?
Sherman is experiencing its most significant economic transformation in generations — Texas Instruments' $30 billion four-factory semiconductor campus began production in late 2025, and GlobiTech's $5 billion wafer plant is underway. This $35 billion investment is driving demand for tenant-ready commercial space. Existing building owners who defer facade maintenance compete against brand-new construction for the vendors, service businesses, and workforce housing that follow semiconductor investment. A deteriorated facade or visible concrete failure signals deferred maintenance to prospective tenants — and signals risk to lenders and insurers.
