Construction & Contractors Blog

If you're thinking about painting the exterior of your building, you should also think about the possibility of adding exterior coatings. They're different than paint in a lot of ways, and you can appreciate the results they have on your own property if you ensure these things are provided.

Mold-Resistant Properties

There are some commercial buildings that are more prone to mold than others. It can develop around the exterior. Not only does that affect how your building looks, but it could cause health problems if the mold is able to grow enough to where it eventually gets inside.

When you consider adding exterior coatings to your building, make sure they have mold-resistant properties so that you have an easy time keeping mold away. Even if the exterior coatings get rained on, mold won't attach to the surface and then become a more stressful problem later that you have to address.

Lifetime Warranty

Some exterior coating companies are so supportive of the clients they help that they'll offer lifetime warranties on these coatings. You definitely want to get one if you can with whatever exterior coatings are applied to your building. Then you won't be put in a position of dealing with costly repairs and adjustments.

Regardless of what problems happen with the exterior coatings applied to your building, touch-ups will be provided for free by the company that set up the coatings in the first place. Then you'll know for certain these coatings will work out for your specific property. 

Well-Versed Coating Contractors

In order for exterior coatings to look nice on your building and provide the protective qualities you're looking to benefit from, they have to be applied correctly. You thus need to make sure you get well-versed coating contractors that work on your building.

They need to know every technique involved in setting up exterior coatings the right way on the specific property you have. You might want to screen these contractors before letting them work on your building, where you ask about their experience and see what past projects they've handled. Then you can verify quality coating contractors for better results.

Putting exterior coatings on any commercial building can make the exterior better protected and look a certain way. If you're careful about the things provided throughout this renovation, it can be a huge payoff for your building and you can worry less.

Leaking Roofs and Roof Repairs

My name is Debbie Greenberg. I’m a single woman who owns her home, and like most homeowners I dread home repairs. I’m not very handy with do-it-yourself projects around the house. I can do a few minor repairs when necessary, but for the most part I have to call in a professional. Last year I had a leak in my roof. When it rained, water would leak into my kitchen. What appeared to be a simple fix turned out to be anything but simple. It took over four months to finally identify the problem, and double the money I was initially quoted to fix it. The problem ended up being that the flat part of my roof didn't have shingles, but a sheeting material. I learned a bit about home roofs along the way, and that is what I want to share with you.
