Covered Bridges in Bucks County, PA
The local government of Bucks County contacted CertaPro Painters to help refresh both the interior and exterior of the covered bridges in Bucks County. CertaPro Painters is among the most experienced painters for government projects in the Bucks County area. With an emphasis on safety and regulatory compliance, CertaPro is the best painting company for both residential and commercial painting contracts in the Bucks County area.
BACKGROUND:
BACKGROUND:Some of Bucks County’s most iconic structures are the historical and renowned covered bridges. Bucks County was once home to more than 50 covered bridges, but today, only 12 remain. And even then, only 10 still carry vehicles. After two recent fires, the governing body of Bucks County contacted CertaPro Painters to repair, renovate, and fireproof the remaining bridges.
CONDITIONS:
Rotted Wood – Before we arrived, the wooden exterior of the structure was clearly damaged due to steady wear and tear over the years.
Exposed Location – The governing body of Lower Bucks county had to close the bridges and send traffic away from the bridges until the interior was completed.
Elevated Position – Ladders had to be used to properly treat the exterior of the covered bridges. Traffic flowed through the bridges once the interiors were completed, so our team had to be extra careful when doing the exteriors.
PROJECT INVOLVEMENT:
Light Repairs – CertaPro Painters assessed and repaired any and all wood damage and roof shingle damage before painting began.
FireProofing – We prepped and coated the bare wood with ANDEK Polaseal Fire Retardant Wood Sealer on all wood surfaces of the bridges that were not painted white or red.
Secondary Layer – For the red and white areas of the bridges, we applied ANDEK Fire Resistant Waterproofing Coating, which could be tinted and matched to the historic red and white colors.
Replaced Signage – Notice on the image slider above, how CertaPro replaced the signage for vehicle clearance on the bridge. Our team can handle both repairs and renovations!
Final Walkthrough – CertaPro Painters showed all areas of improvement to our government contact for his/her stamp of approval. At CertaPro, your satisfaction is everything to us!
PROPERTY CONDITIONS
Before the project began, CertaPro Painters® gathered images of the home’s conditions, helping pinpoint the problematic sections that needed the most attention by the team.
IN PROGRESS
Using ladders and a team of professional painters in Bucks County, CertaPro masterfully completed this exterior painting project.
FRESHLY PAINTED & REPAIRED
After the project was completed, the staff of CertaPro Lower Bucks took these photos to showcase various areas of the property that were improved and revitalized by a fresh paintjob by CertaPro Painters.
