City halls, county courthouses and federal office buildings have similar maintenance needs as private commercial facilities. An attractive appearance boosts employee morale and improves the visitor experience.
However, many jurisdictions find themselves grappling with budgetary constraints and competing priorities when it comes to spending money on basic upkeep. All too often decision-makers are tempted to delay small updates in favor of seemingly more pressing, headline-grabbing items. The result is a dirty, outdated appearance and more costly repairs in the long-term.
That is why it is of utmost importance to establish a strategic maintenance plan for public buildings. Routine inspections, cleaning and architectural refinishing help to keep facilities in good condition. Proactive maintenance also saves taxpayer money by reducing the long-term costs of reactive maintenance and emergency repairs.
Mid America Specialty Services has provided architectural restoration for federal, state and local government buildings for many years. Our trained refinishers remove built-up dirt and grime and apply high performance coatings to protect against future wear and tear.
Benefits of Preventive Maintenance
First and foremost, proactive maintenance actually lowers repair costs over the long haul. That’s because most small repairs and updates are simpler, quicker and less labor-intensive than more extensive repairs caused by years of neglect.
Second, regular maintenance that includes routine inspections can boost a facility’s health and safety profile. Small defects that are caught early can often be repaired before they lead to an injury or illness.
Third, aesthetics are just as important for government buildings as they are for commercial facilities. A beautiful exterior enhances employee morale, improves the visitor experience and instills a sense of pride in the community. Proactive maintenance is a great way to protect against the effects of pollution, inclement weather and other hazards that may degrade the appearance of exterior glass, masonry or metal.
Restoring & Protecting Architectural Materials
Routine maintenance typically includes inspection to identify items in need of attention, cleaning and long-term protection.
Power washing and other professional cleaning techniques remove dirt, mold, bird droppings and other pollutants to prevent them from accumulating over time. After clearing up exterior stains, masonry can be sealed to create a waterproof barrier.
Window frames, handrails and other metal components can be cleaned and treated with high quality coatings to protect against rust, scratches and smudges. Refinishers can also remove or reduce the appearance of scratches and water damage on exterior glass, for a shiny, brilliant appearance.
