The facility was generally well-maintained, requiring only a few minor fixes before the painting could begin. Despite the rust and high elevations, our team completed the job in a standard one week timeframe.

PROJECT INVOLVEMENT:

The owner of the building was coming in for a visit and the goal of the client was to freshen up the exterior so that it looked nice for this occasion. Old rebar within the structure was causing rust stains which interfered with the clean white color scheme. These sections had to be grinded down and sanded before new paint could be added.

CHALLENGES:

Every instance of rust stains had to be thoroughly mitigated. A rust inhibitive primer was applied to ensure long-lasting protection. This step is crucial for preventing or slowing down the recurrence of future staining. The corrosion from the rust presents a potentially dangerous and costly problem over time, but our professional painting service guarantees years of protection due to superior materials and process.

THE FINISHED PRODUCT:

Our expert team worked to clear the rust and repainted the building without issue. Staff were not disrupted by the work. The finished product is a freshly painted and rust free building that the client loved.
