- Buildings were pressure washed to remove loose surface dirt and debris
- Previously caulked gaps and cracks were revisited with new caulking
- Any loose or peeling paint was sanded and scraped to a firm base

- Special Equipment
- Two 86′ aerial lifts
- Two 24′ swing stage scaffolding units
PROJECT TIMELINE

Communication is key. The Project Manager, Isaac, was consistently providing me updates, checking in, walking the property, and providing feedback. The painters on property were respectful, thorough, and easy to work with.
