The work was completed efficiently in just four days, demonstrating the team’s expertise and dedication to delivering high-quality results.

Project Details

Location: Greenlawn Memorial Park in Kohler, WI
Duration: 4 days
Services Provided: Concrete patching, primer application, masonry painting

Challenges and Solutions

The mausoleums had suffered from long-term roof leaks, leading to significant damage to the concrete and exposing areas of rebar. Additionally, the site presented logistical challenges due to limited access to water and no available power. Despite these obstacles, the CertaPro Painters team successfully addressed all issues, ensuring the project’s timely completion.

1. Concrete Repair: The team began by sealing the rust on the exposed rebar to prevent further corrosion. They then meticulously patched the damaged concrete to restore the structural integrity of the mausoleums.
2. Primer Application: After the concrete repairs, a primer was applied to prepare the surfaces for painting, ensuring better adhesion and durability of the topcoat.
3. Masonry Painting: The final step involved applying two coats of Loxon XP Masonry paint to the backs of the mausoleums. This high-performance paint provided a durable, weather-resistant finish, protecting the structures from future damage and enhancing their appearance.

Outcome

The project was completed successfully within the planned timeframe, transforming the neglected mausoleums into well-preserved, visually appealing structures. The high-quality masonry paint not only improved the aesthetic appeal but also provided long-lasting protection against the elements.
