GTR Manufacturing – Light Industrial Facility Exterior Repaint

In June 2022, CertaPro Painters® of the Upper Charles was hired to repaint the exterior concrete surfaces of GTR Manufacturing in Brockton, MA.

The exterior concrete surfaces of the building show significant peeling and cracking, as well as heavy soil. The biggest technical challenge was the extreme cracking and peeling, especially on the textured “split block” used for the front and one side. As split block cannot be effectively prepared by scraping or brushing, we instead used an ultra-high pressure wash to scour away the loose, cracking paint. Adhering paint that remained was “locked-down” with a high build peel-bonding primer before the finish coat of high-quality concrete and masonry paint.

The project required scheduling for off-hours work around entries/exits, and especially the loading docks. We had some interruptions due to inclement weather but finished this project in 2 weeks. Photos from each step of our process can be seen below!
