Power Scaffold for a power couple – The Powel House

November 2, 2020

When you have visitors like Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and George & Martha Washington at your house – it’s important to keep up appearances. And that’s exactly what the Philadelphia Society for the Preservation of Landmarks is doing. The entire facade from woodwork, masonry, roofing and windows is being renovated to make this luxurious mid Georgian 18th century mansion look its best. Superior Scaffold has a reputation for being the go to company for historic structures in the tri-state area. Our crews are highly trained and take the best precautions to leave the site exactly as we found it. The Powel...

Saint Mark’s Church, Philadelphia, Renovations & Scaffolding

April 21, 2015

by superiorscaffold

Saint Mark's Church, at 1625 Locust St., is undergoing some renovations and called Superior for the scaffold support and access it needed. The church was founded in 1847 and actually built between 1848 and 1849 and as an historic building needed the utmost care when completing said renovations. Superior Scaffold has a long history of exemplary work on historic buildings and structures in the tri-state area so they were the logical choice. These upgrades were being done in phases and Superior needed a way to get the many disciplines (roofers, masonry crews, windows, painters, and the like) to their destinations. An elaborate...
