Poplar Run – A Coatings Solution
The Challenge
Recent new additions at this independent living facility made the existing structure look aged, worn and deteriorated.
The Solution
Our coatings team carefully inspected the facility’s exterior and recommended the appropriate products to enhance and protect the facility. Our solution involved the performance of the following actions:
- EIFS finish on the outside of the building was repaired, cleaned and coated with a new weatherproof/protective coating. The coating color of the older portions of the building was matched to the new additions.
- Repaired over 400 Dryvit window sills, grounded the old finish off and installed new base-coat, mesh and finish and repaired a few hundred feet of cracks in the Dryvit.
- All of the exterior caulked joints around the affected portions of the building were re-caulked – Including windows, doors, louvers and vents, expansion joints and more.
- Handsome stone veneer accents were added along the bottoms of the walls and at some accent panels around the building.
- Some of the existing brick piers and accent panels were stained to match the new colors of the new building.
As the work progressed, the owner asked us to perform additional work, including the installation of 41 new doors at the resident’s patio entrances and the upcoming installation of four aluminum enclosures for some new all-season rooms for the residents to enjoy.
The Results
The result is an amazing transformation – an attractive, warm and inviting appearance that will allow the residents to enjoy their homes even more, for many years to come.
