U-Haul Storage Unit Painting in Danvers, MA - Bringing Peeling Paint Back to Life!

If there is one thing you can count on here in New Eng­land, it’s that your exte­ri­or paint is in for a rough ride. Our frigid win­ters bring snow, sleet, ice, and the dam­age that comes from freeze/​thaw cycles (thanks to those occa­sion­al teas­er days of warmth!), and our sum­mers bring high tem­per­a­tures that the south would be proud of.

Because of this, your exte­ri­or paint and main­te­nance is cru­cial, help­ing to elim­i­nate issues before they grow into larg­er and larg­er prob­lems. And, in the case of com­mer­cial clients, rough exte­ri­or paint not only detracts from the pro­fes­sion­al look of a build­ing, but it also reduces the image and clar­i­ty of your branding.

Com­mer­cial Exte­ri­or Painting

We were recent­ly asked to paint the out­side of a U‑Haul stor­age unit facil­i­ty in Dan­vers, MA. Paint adhe­sion issues had these build­ings lit­er­al­ly in tat­ters. What once were bright, crisp, attrac­tive lines and pat­terns had a sort of half-melt­ed look to them, cre­at­ing a worn and tired effect. 

We got to work with Smart Strip Pro to remove all of the peel­ing paint so that we could then prime and repaint the the build­ings. As we did, we had two fac­tors to keep in con­sid­er­a­tion: the first was to make sure that the chem­i­cal strip­per we were using didn’t find its way into the drainage sys­tem, or onto the veg­e­ta­tion around the facil­i­ty. Respect for the envi­ron­ment in which we are work­ing is very, very impor­tant to us at Kaloutas.

Sec­ond­ly, we need­ed to be sure to work around the needs of U‑Haul’s clients as they came and went. This is a stor­age facil­i­ty after all! We are always care­ful to not treat a job­site sim­ply as ​“our work­site,” but some­one else’s prop­er­ty where we have been invit­ed. This keeps our pres­ence in per­spec­tive, and is why we are care­ful to not dis­turb the oper­a­tions of any facil­i­ty at which we’re working.

For this project we used Smart Strip Pro (paint strip­per), Sher­win Williams Bond­Plex (primer), and Sher­win Williams Sher-Cryl (high per­for­mance acrylic paint). And, they served us well! Take a look at the pic­tures we’ve includ­ed and see for your­self what a dif­fer­ence a qual­i­ty, exte­ri­or paint­ing project can make!
