ITEM SUMMARY:
H & H Specialty, LLC, as represented by Sarah Harms, property owner of the building at 146-148
Washington Street, has requested Fagade Grant Program funding for the purpose of replacing the
building’s roof and tuck-pointing exterior brick. The proposed improvements are both eligible

Combined Roofing Services, LLC for $44,380.00; and AJ’s Home Improvement for $26,850.00. The
estimates secured for the tuck-pointing project: Terrace Masonry for $3,800.00; Millennium Tuckpointing
for $6,800.00; and Hancock Tuckpointing & Masonry for $2,600.00. The City’s contribution is typically

exterior brick tuck-pointing per the Program’s guidelines.
