Why Should Consistent Commercial Exterior Painting and Repairs Be One of Your Priorities?

A Recent Project in Chelmsford…

As a rule, we rec­om­mend con­sis­tent facil­i­ty main­te­nance and upkeep. This is pri­mar­i­ly because rou­tine clean­ing, paint­ing, and care will not only keep your prop­er­ty look­ing fresh, but also pro­tect it from larg­er-scale dam­age and decay.

It’s sim­i­lar to the idea of invest­ing in reg­u­lar inspec­tions and main­te­nance for your car rather than wait­ing for a big issue to take you by sur­prise. Nobody wants to hear that dread­ed sput­ter on the high­way (it always seems to hap­pen at the worst time)!

We recent­ly paint­ed a facil­i­ty in Chelms­ford that had, to put it sim­ply, grown tired. The exte­ri­or was large­ly uncar­ed for, result­ing in fad­ed, unsight­ly paint, and prob­lems with rust and rot had popped up as well. You can see all of this clear­ly in the first pho­to above. Our mis­sion was to erase the dam­age, stop the decay in its tracks, and bring it back to a sol­id, fresh finish.

Why Exte­ri­or Paint­ing Is Important

Exte­ri­or paint­ing is more than just putting paint on the out­side of your build­ing. Prop­er­ly imple­ment­ing exte­ri­or paint­ing projects also requires you to make the right repairs before paint­ing can take place. Often these repairs include:

• Mois­ture mit­i­ga­tion — caulk­ing and sealant repairs

• Cre­at­ing excel­lent curb appeal

• Inform­ing cus­tomers that you take your busi­ness seri­ous­ly and know how to main­tain and clean and sus­tain­able building. 

Our Exte­ri­or Clean­ing and Paint­ing Process

• Pow­er wash­ing - Because work­ing with a clean and pre­pared sur­face is key, we start­ed with pow­er wash­ing. Our high-pow­ered unit can help to strip away dirt, debris, and any residue that might get in the way of a healthy and strong paint job. Our team is trained to skill­ful­ly han­dle this process, max­i­miz­ing the ben­e­fits for your surfaces.
• Repairs — We also com­plet­ed nec­es­sary mason­ry repairs, and replaced rot­ten por­tions of wood. This ties in again with the impor­tance of sur­face prepa­ra­tion; ensur­ing that what is under your new paint is sol­id is cru­cial for a long-last­ing result.
• Paint­ing - For the top­coat we used Sher­win-Williams A‑100. This is a tough, durable prod­uct that pro­vides fan­tas­tic coverage.
