Rust stains on concrete exteriors can make your building look unsightly. Those stains can come from a number of places, including water dripping on the concrete or metal tools or other materials left on the concrete. Rust can also occur simply based on the materials used in the concrete.

Commercial buildings can take a beating over time, and the exterior facade can start to show dirt, staining, or other markings. Whether light or dark, brick or concrete, limestone or stucco, the exterior of your building will need to be cleaned periodically to keep it looking its best and to help identify any needed repairs.

There are lots of reasons to stay on top of commercial building maintenance and restoration, including saving money by catching problems early, conducting maintenance at planned intervals rather than during emergency situations, and keeping your building in good working order.

While most people don’t notice it on a day-to-day basis, buildings are constantly moving. This can happen due to things like the ground below the building settling over time, winds exerting force on a tall building, or temperature fluctuations that cause the building materials to expand or contract.

Winter weather can create a wide range of challenges for commercial building maintenance, whether the water in question is falling from the sky in some frozen form or coming from a frozen pipe in your building. Here are a couple of ways freezing water can impact your building and how to prevent them.

Hail damage is an unfortunate reality in the plains region. For those who own buildings with stucco or EFIS veneer, the impact can be a glaring problem.

Despite the mild fall temperatures, winter weather is right around the corner. With it comes all the environmental changes that plague facilities managers and building owners.

We love historic brick buildings. These iconic structures give us a window to the past, and when restored and maintained properly, they become a mainstay of the future.

Few things strike fear in the hearts of building owners like water damage. Even a small leak can wreak havoc on walls and flooring. Of course, one of the great concerns of moisture inside buildings is growth of mold. Mold can begin to grow on wet surfaces in only a day or two.

Parking garages are a fantastic solution for maximizing vehicle parking in space-limited areas. However, anyone who manages or owns one knows the high construction and maintenance cost that come with them.
