Mr. Larry Krause/To Whom it may concern:

St. Bede Priory is a convent and retreat center that was built in 1963. it was built in the stule of an old European monastery and is faced with a soft brick.

Maintaining the building is, to say the least, a challenge and a constant battle with the elements.

Krause Konstruction Company has helped us to set up a long-term maintenance program, finishing one section at a time. They are covering the old roof caps with copper, forming a drop edge, installing standing seam roofs over the pillars and windows to replace the flat concrete caps, removing decayed brick, tuckpointing the loose and decayed mortar joints.

Mr Kaurse and his crew are truly professional and versatile in their work. I would recommend Krause Konstruction to meet any and all maintenance challenges. They are fast, accurate, and pleasant to work with.

Sincerely,

Edwin Kaatz, Building Superintendent
St. Bede Priory
